1 Samuel 7:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 Then Samuel said to all the Israelite people, ‘If you truly want to turn back to the Lord, you must show that you mean it. You must remove all your foreign gods and the images of Ashtoreth.[a] You must give your lives completely to the Lord. You must worship only the Lord. If you do that, he will save you from the power of the Philistines.’
4 So the Israelites removed all their idols of the false gods called Baal and Ashtoreth. They only worshipped the Lord.
5 Then Samuel told all the Israelites, ‘Meet together at Mizpah. I will pray to the Lord for you there.’
