1 Samuel 7:10-14

New International Version

¹⁰ While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered^(A) with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic^(B) that they were routed before the Israelites. ¹¹ The men of Israel rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Beth Kar.

¹² Then Samuel took a stone^(C) and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,^[a](D) saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

¹³ So the Philistines were subdued^(E) and they stopped invading Israel’s territory. Throughout Samuel’s lifetime, the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines. ¹⁴ The towns from Ekron^(F) to Gath that the Philistines had captured from Israel were restored to Israel, and Israel delivered the neighboring territory from the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.^(G)
