1 Samuel 7:10-14

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ Samuel was offering the burnt offering as the Philistines drew near to fight against Israel. The Lord thundered loudly^(A) against the Philistines that day and threw them into such confusion that they fled before Israel.^{(B) 11} Then the men of Israel charged out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines striking them down all the way to a place below Beth-car.

¹² Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it upright^(C) between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,^[a] explaining, “The Lord has helped us to this point.” ¹³ So the Philistines were subdued^(D) and^[b] did not invade Israel’s territory again.^(E) The Lord’s hand was against the Philistines all of Samuel’s life. ¹⁴ The cities from Ekron to Gath, which they had taken from Israel, were restored; Israel even rescued their surrounding territories from Philistine control. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.
