1 Samuel 7:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 The Philistines came closer and closer to fight the Israelites while Samuel offered the sacrifice. But then, the Lord caused a loud clap of thunder to hit near the Philistines. The thunder scared the Philistines, and they became confused, so the Israelites defeated them in battle. 11 The men of Israel ran out of Mizpah and chased the Philistines all the way to Beth Car. They killed Philistine soldiers all along the way.
Peace Comes to Israel
12 After this Samuel set up a special stone to help people remember what God did. Samuel put the stone between Mizpah and Shen[a] and named the stone “Stone of Help.”[b] Samuel said, “The Lord helped us all the way to this place.”
