10 Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines advanced to battle Israel. But (A)the Lord thundered with a great [a]thunder on that day against the Philistines and (B)confused them, so that they were struck down before Israel. 11 And the men of Israel came out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and killed them as far as below Beth-car.

12 Then Samuel (C)took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it [b]Ebenezer, saying, “[c]So far the Lord has helped us.”
