1 Samuel 7:9–14

⁹And Samuel took ^aa suckling lamb and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh; and Samuel cried out to Yahweh for Israel, and ^bYahweh answered him.

¹⁰Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But ^aYahweh thundered with a great ¹thunder on that day against the Philistines and ^bconfused them, so that they were ²defeated before Israel.

¹¹So the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them down as far as below Beth-car.

¹²Then Samuel ^atook a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and he named it ¹Ebenezer. And he said, “Thus far Yahweh has helped us.”

^13aSo the Philistines were subdued, and ^bthey did not come anymore within the border of Israel. And the hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

¹⁴And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. So there was peace between Israel and ^athe Amorites.
