1: And came,H0935 the menH0376 Kirjath JearimH7157 and tookH5927 -H0853 the arkH0727 of Yahweh,H3068 and broughtH0935 itH0853 intoH0413 the houseH1004 of AbinadabH0041 on the hill,H1389 andH0853 EleazarH0499 his sonH1121 consecratedH6942 to keepH8104 -H0853 the arkH0727 of Yahweh.H3068

2: So it was,H1961 thatH3117 remainedH3427 the arkH0727 Kirjath Jearim,H7157 and long-H7235 a timeH3117 and it was [there]H1961 twentyH6242 years-H8141 and lamentedH5091 allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 afterH0310 Yahweh.H3068

3: And spokeH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 allH3605 the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 saying,H0559 ifH0518 with allH3605 your heart,H3824 youH0859 returnH7725 toH0413 YahwehH3068 [then] put awayH5493 -H0853 godsH0430 the foreignH5236 from among youH8432 and the AshtorethsH6252 and prepareH3559 your heartsH3824 forH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and serve HimH5647 only-H0905 and He will deliverH5337 youH0853 from the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430

4: So put awayH5493 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 -H0853 the BaalsH1168 andH0853 the Ashtoreths,H6252 and servedH5647 -H0853 YahwehH3068 only.H0905

5: And said,H0559 SamuelH8050 GatherH6908 -H0853 allH3605 IsraelH3478 to Mizpah,H4709 and I will prayH6419 for youH1157 toH0413 Yahweh.H3068

6: So they gathered togetherH6908 at Mizpah,H4709 and drewH7579 water,H4325 and poured [it] outH8210 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 and they fastedH6684 day,H3117 thatH1931 and saidH0559 there,H8033 we have sinnedH2398 against Yahweh.H3068 And judgedH8199 SamuelH8050 -H0853 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at Mizpah.H4709

7: And when heardH8085 the PhilistinesH6430 thatH3588 had gathered togetherH6908 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at Mizpah,H4709 and went upH5927 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 againstH0413 Israel.H3478 And when heard [of it]H8085 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and they were afraidH3372 ofH6440 the Philistines.H6430

8: So saidH0559 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 notH0408 do ceaseH2790 for usH4480 to cry outH2199 toH0413 YahwehH3068 our GodH0430 that He may save usH3467 from the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430

9: And tookH3947 SamuelH8050 lamb,H2924 sucklingH2461 aH0259 and offered [it]H5927 [as] a burnt offeringH5930 wholeH3632 to Yahweh-H3068 and cried outH2199 SamuelH8050 toH0413 YahwehH3068 forH1157 Israel-H3478 and answered himH6030 Yahweh.H3068

10: And as wasH1961 SamuelH8050 offering upH5927 the burnt offering,H5930 and the PhilistinesH6430 drew nearH5066 to battleH4421 against Israel.H3478 But thunderedH7481 YahwehH3068 with a thunderH6963 loudH1419 dayH3117 thatH1931 uponH5921 the Philistines,H6430 so confused themH2000 that they were overcomeH5062 beforeH6440 Israel.H3478

11: And went outH3318 the menH0582 of IsraelH3478 fromH4480 Mizpah,H4709 and pursuedH7291 -H0853 the Philistines,H6430 and drove them backH5221 untilH5704 as far asH8478 Beth Car.H1033

12: And tookH3947 SamuelH8050 stone,H0068 aH0259 and set [it] upH7760 betweenH0996 MizpahH4709 andH0996 Shen,H8129 and calledH7121 -H0853 its nameH8034 Ebenezer,H0072 and saying,H0559 thus farH5704 thusH2008 has helped usH5826 Yahweh.H3068

13: So were subdued,H3665 the PhilistinesH6430 and notH3808 againH3254 anymoreH5750 they did comeH0935 into the territoryH1366 of Israel.H3478 And wasH1961 the handH3027 of YahwehH3068 against the PhilistinesH6430 allH3605 the daysH3117 of Samuel.H8050

14: And were restoredH7725 the citiesH5892 whichH0834 had takenH3947 the PhilistinesH6430 fromH0853 IsraelH3478 to Israel,H3478 from EkronH6138 and toH5704 Gath-H1661 andH0853 its territoryH1366 recoveredH5337 IsraelH3478 from the handH3027 of the Philistines.H6430 And there wasH1961 peaceH7965 betweenH0996 IsraelH3478 andH0996 the Amorites.H0567

15: And judgedH8199 SamuelH8050 -H0853 IsraelH3478 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his life.H2416

16: And He wentH1980 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 and on a circuitH5437 Bethel,H1008 and Gilgal,H1537 and Mizpah,H4709 and judgedH8199 -H0853 IsraelH3478 inH0853 allH3605 placesH4725 these.H0428

17: But he always returnedH8666 to Ramah-H7414 forH3588 [was] thereH8033 his home-H1004 and thereH8033 he judgedH8199 -H0853 Israel-H3478 and he builtH1129 thereH8033 an altarH4196 to Yahweh.H3068
