And
the men of Kiriath-jearim came ,
and
fetched
up
the ark of Jehovah,
and brought
it into the
house of
Abinadab
in
the hill ,
and sanctified
Eleazar
his son to keep
the ark of Jehovah
.
Then
the men of Kiriath-jearim came for
the ark of the
LORD
and took
it into Abinadab’s
house on
the hill .
And they
consecrated
his son Eleazar
to guard
the ark of the
LORD
.
And it
came
to
pass,
from the
day
that the ark abode
in
Kiriath-jearim ,
that
the
time
was
long;
for
it
was
twenty
years:
and all the house of Israel lamented
after Jehovah
.
And from that day
a
long
time
passed,
twenty
years
in
all,
as

at

And all the house of Israel mourned
and
sought
after the
LORD
.
And
Samuel spake
unto
all the house of Israel, saying,
If ye
do
return
unto
Jehovah
with all your heart
, then put
away
the foreign gods and the
Ashtaroth
from
among you, and
direct
your hearts unto
Jehovah
, and serve him only ;
and he will deliver you out
of
the hand of the Philistines.
Then
Samuel said
to
all the house of Israel, “
If you
are
returning
to
the
LORD
with all your hearts
, then rid
yourselves
of
the foreign gods and Ashtoreths
among you, prepare
your hearts for
the
LORD
, and serve Him only .
And He will deliver you from
the hand of the Philistines. ”
Then
the children
of

did
put away the Baalim
and the
Ashtaroth,
and served Jehovah
only.
So
the Israelites
put away the Baals
and Ashtoreths
and served only the
LORD

your
behalf
. ”

drew water ,
and poured it out before Jehovah,
and

of
Israel
in
Mizpah.

We have sinned against the

heard
it
, they were
afraid
of
the Philistines .

of
Israel
said to Samuel, Cease
not to cry
unto
Jehovah
our God for us, that he will
save us out
of
the hand of the Philistines.

crying
out
to the

thundered
with
a
great
thunder
on
that day upon
the Philistines ,
and discomfited
them ;
