the men of Kirjath
-Jearim come
and
bring
up
the ark of Jehovah,
and bring
it in
unto
the
house of
Abinadab,
in
the height,
and Eleazar
his son they
have
sanctified
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
cometh
to
pass,
from the
day
of
the
dwelling
of
the
ark
in
Kirjath-Jearim,
that the
days
are
multiplied
--
yea
, they
are
twenty years -
- and wail
do
all the house of Israel after Jehovah
.
And from that day
a
long
time
passed
, twenty years in
all,
as
the
ark
remained
at
Kiriath
- jearim.
And all the house of Israel mourned
and
sought
after the
LORD
.
And
Samuel speaketh
unto
all the house of Israel, saying,
`
If with all your heart
ye
are
turning
back
unto
Jehovah
--
turn
aside
the
gods
of the stranger
from
your
midst,
and
Ashtaroth;
and prepare your heart
unto
Jehovah
, and serve Him only ,
and He doth
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. ”
And
the sons
of
Israel
turn
aside
the Baalim
and Ashtaroth,
and serve
Jehovah
alone;
So
the Israelites
put
away
the Baals
and Ashtoreths
and served
only
the
LORD.
and
Samuel saith
, `
Gather all Israel to Mizpeh
, and I pray for
you
unto
Jehovah
. '
Then
Samuel said
, “
Gather all Israel to Mizpah
, and I will
pray to
the
LORD
on
your
behalf
. ”
And
they are
gathered to
Mizpeh
, and
draw
water ,
and pour
out before Jehovah,
and
fast
on that day, and say
there, `
We have sinned against Jehovah;'
and Samuel judgeth
the sons
of
Israel
in
Mizpeh
.
When
they had
gathered at
Mizpah
, they
drew
water and poured
it
out before the
LORD.
On that day they
fasted
, and there they
confessed
, “
We have sinned against the
LORD.”
And Samuel judged
the Israelites
at
Mizpah
.
And
the Philistines hear
that the sons
of
Israel
have
gathered themselves
to
Mizpeh;
and
the
princes
of
the
Philistines
go
up against
Israel ,
and the sons
of Israel
hear
, and
are
afraid
of
the
presence
of
the Philistines .
When
the Philistines heard
that the Israelites
had
gathered at
Mizpah,
their
rulers
marched
up toward
Israel .
And when
the Israelites
learned
of this
, they
feared
the Philistines
And the
sons
of
Israel
say
unto
Samuel, `Keep
not silent
for
us
from
crying unto
Jehovah
our God, and
He doth
save us out
of
the hand of the Philistines. '
and said
to
Samuel, “Do
not stop
crying out
to
the
LORD
our God for
us
, that
He may
save us from
the hand of the Philistines. ”
And
Samuel taketh
a fat
lamb ,
and causeth
it to
go
up
--
a burnt -
offering whole
to Jehovah;
and
Samuel
crieth
unto
Jehovah
for
Israel, and Jehovah
answereth
him ;
Then
Samuel took
a suckling
lamb and offered
it as
a whole
burnt offering to the
LORD.
He
cried
out
to
the
LORD
on
behalf
of
Israel, and the
LORD
answered
him .
and
Samuel
is
causing
the
burnt-offering
to
go
up
--
and
the Philistines have
drawn
nigh
to battle
against Israel --
and
Jehovah
doth
thunder
with
a
great
noise
, on
that day ,
upon
the Philistines ,
and troubleth
them ,
and
they are
smitten
before Israel.
As
the Philistines drew
near
to fight
against Israel, Samuel
was
sacrificing
the
burnt
offering.
But
that day the LORD
thundered
loudly
against
the
Philistines and threw
them into
such
confusion
that
they fled
before Israel.
And
the men of Israel go
out from
Mizpeh,
and pursue
the Philistines, and
smite
them unto
the place
of
Beth-Car.
Then
the men of Israel charged
out of
Mizpah
and pursued
the Philistines, striking
them down
all
the way
to
an
area
below
Beth-car.
And
Samuel taketh
a stone ,
and setteth
`
it '
between Mizpeh
and Shen ,
and
calleth
its
name
Eben-Ezer
, saying, `Hitherto
hath
Jehovah
helped us. '
Afterward,
Samuel took
a stone and set
it up
between Mizpah
and Shen .
He
named
it
Ebenezer
, saying, “Thus
far
the
LORD
has
helped us. ”
And
the Philistines are
humbled
, and have
not
added
any
more
to
come
into
the border
of Israel ,
and the hand of Jehovah
is
on
the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
So
the Philistines were
subdued
, and they
stopped
invading
the territory
of Israel .
And the hand of the LORD
was
against
the
Philistines all the days of Samuel.
And
the cities which the Philistines have
taken from
Israel
are
restored to Israel --
from
Ekron
even
unto
Gath
--
and
their
border
hath
Israel
delivered out
of
the hand of the Philistines ;
and there is
peace between Israel
and the Amorite
.
The cities from
Ekron
to
Gath,
which the Philistines had
taken ,
were
restored to Israel ,
who
also
delivered the surrounding
territory
from
the
hand of the Philistines .
And there was
peace between the
Israelites
and the Amorites
.
And
Samuel judgeth
Israel all the days of his life ,
So
Samuel judged
Israel all the days of his life .
and
he hath
gone
from year
to year,
and
gone
round
Beth-El,
and
Gilgal ,
and
Mizpeh
, and
judged
Israel `
in '
all these places ;
Every
year
he would
go
on
a
circuit
from Bethel
to Gilgal to
Mizpah
, judging
Israel in all these places .
and
his
returning
`is'
to Ramath,
for
there
`is'
his house
, and there he hath
judged Israel ,
and he
buildeth
there
an altar to Jehovah
.
Then
he
would
return
to Ramah
because
his home
was
there
, and there he judged Israel and built
an altar to the
LORD
.
