Първо Царе 7
Bulgarian Bible

7 Тогава кириатиаримските мъже дойдоха та дигнаха Господния ковчег, и донесоха го в Авинадавовата къща на хълма; и осветиха сина му Елеазара, за да пази Господния ковчег.

2 И то деня, когато ковчегът бе положен в Кириатиарим, мина се много време - двадесет години; и целият Израилев дом въздишаше за Господа.

3 И Самуил говори на целия Израилев дом, казвайки: Ако се обръщате от все сърце към Господа, махнете отсред себе си чуждите богове и астартите, та пригответе сърцата си за Господа и само Нему служете; и Той ще ви избави от ръката на филистимците.

4 Тогава израилтяните махнаха ваалимите и астартите та служеха само на Господа.

5 После Самуил каза: Съберете целия Израил в Масфа, и ще се помоля за вас Господу.

6 И тъй събраха се в Масфа, и наляха вода, която изляха пред Господа, и постиха през оня ден, и рекоха там: Съгрешихме на Господа. И Самуил съдеше израилтяните в Масфа.

7 А като чуха филистимците, че израилтяните се събрали в Масфа, филистимските началници излязоха против Израиля. Като чуха това израилтяните уплашиха се от филистимците.

8 И израилтяните рекоха на Самуила: Не преставай да викаш за нас към Господа нашия Бог, за да ни избави от ръката на филистимците.

9 За това, Самуил взе едно млечниче агне, та го принесе цяло всеизгаряне Господу; и Самуил извика към Господа за Израиля, и Господ го послуша;

10 защото, когато принасяше Самуил всеизгарянето, понеже филистимците се приближиха да се бият с Израиля, в същия ден Господ гръмна със силен гръм върху филистимците и ги смути; и те бяха поразени пред Израиля.

11 Израилевите мъже излязоха от Масфа, та гониха филистимците, и поразиха ги до под Вет-хар.

12 Тогава Самуил взе един камък та го постави между Масфа и Сен, и нарече го Евен-езер*, като казваше: До тука ни помогна Господ.

13 Така филистимците бяха покорени и не дойдоха вече в Израилевите предели; и Господната ръка беше против филистимците през всичките дни на Самуила.

14 И градовете, които филистимците бяха превзели от Израиля, бяха повърнати на Израиля, от Акарон до Гет; и Израил освободи техните околности от ръката на филистимците. А между Израиля и аморейците имаше мир.

15 И Самуил съдеше Израиля през всичките дни на живота си.

16 И всяка година той отиваше да обикаля Ветил, Галгал и Масфа, и съдеше Израиля във всички тия места;

17 а после се връщаше в Рама, защото домът му беше там, па и там съдеше Израиля. Там издигна и олтар на Господа.

New King James Version

Israel Defeats the Philistines

7 Then the men of (A)Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of (B)Abinadab on the hill, and (C)consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord.

Samuel Judges Israel

2 So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim a long time; it was there twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.

3 Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you (D)return to the Lord with all your hearts, then (E)put away the foreign gods and the (F)Ashtoreths[a] from among you, and (G)prepare your hearts for the Lord, and (H)serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.” 4 So the children of Israel put away the (I)Baals and the [b]Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.

5 And Samuel said, (J)“Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and (K)I will pray to the Lord for you.” 6 So they gathered together at Mizpah, (L)drew water, and poured it out before the Lord. And they (M)fasted that day, and said there, (N)“We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.

7 Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines. 8 So the children of Israel said to Samuel, (O)“Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”

9 And Samuel took a (P)suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. Then (Q)Samuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord answered him. 10 Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. (R)But the Lord thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel. 11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and [c]drove them back as far as below Beth Car. 12 Then Samuel (S)took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name [d]Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

13 (T)So the Philistines were subdued, and they (U)did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 14 Then the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory from the hands of the Philistines. Also there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 And Samuel (V)judged Israel all the days of his life. 16 He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places. 17 But (W)he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he (X)built an altar to the Lord.

Revival and Victory at Mizpah

7 The men of Kiriath Jearim came and brought up the ark of Yahweh, and they brought it to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah. They consecrated Eleazer his son to guard the ark of Yahweh. 2 From[a] the day the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, days multiplied and became twenty years[b] while all the house of Israel mourned after Yahweh. 3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If with all your heart you are turning to Yahweh, remove the foreign gods and Ashtoreths[c] from your midst. Commit your hearts to Yahweh and serve him alone. Then he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.” 4 So the Israelites[d] removed the Baals[e] and the Ashtoreths, and they served Yahweh alone.

5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.” 6 So they gathered to Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before Yahweh. They fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh!” So Samuel judged the Israelites[f] at Mizpah. 7 Now when the Philistines heard that the Israelites[g] had gathered at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the Israelites[h] heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.[i] 8 Then the Israelites[j] said to Samuel, “You must not cease[k] from crying out to Yahweh our God, so that he will deliver us from the hand of the Philistines.” 9 So Samuel took a single nursing lamb[l] and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh on behalf of Israel, and Yahweh answered him. 10 While[m] Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near for the battle against Israel. But Yahweh thundered against the Philistines with a great noise on that day and threw them into confusion so that they were defeated before Israel. 11 Then the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and they struck them down as far as below Beth Car.

12 So Samuel took a single stone and put it between Mizpah and Shen, and he named it Ebenezer and said, “Up to here Yahweh has helped us.” 13 So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come into the territory of Israel again, and the hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 14 The towns[n] which the Philistines had taken from Israel were returned to Israel from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territories from the hand of the Philistines. Then there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

The Circuit Ministry of Samuel

15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. 16 He used to go on the circuit from year to year.[o] He went around Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and he judged Israel in all these places. 17 Then he returned[p] to Ramah, because his house was there, and there he judged Israel, and he built an altar to Yahweh there.

1 Samuel 7
New International Version

7 1 So the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took up the ark(A) of the Lord. They brought it to Abinadab’s(B) house on the hill and consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the Lord. 2 The ark remained at Kiriath Jearim(C) a long time—twenty years in all.

Samuel Subdues the Philistines at Mizpah

Then all the people of Israel turned back to the Lord.(D) 3 So Samuel said to all the Israelites, “If you are returning(E) to the Lord with all your hearts, then rid(F) yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths(G) and commit(H) yourselves to the Lord and serve him only,(I) and he will deliver(J) you out of the hand of the Philistines.” 4 So the Israelites put away their Baals and Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.

5 Then Samuel(K) said, “Assemble all Israel at Mizpah,(L) and I will intercede(M) with the Lord for you.” 6 When they had assembled at Mizpah,(N) they drew water and poured(O) it out before the Lord. On that day they fasted and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the Lord.” Now Samuel was serving as leader[a](P) of Israel at Mizpah.

7 When the Philistines heard that Israel had assembled at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines came up to attack them. When the Israelites heard of it, they were afraid(Q) because of the Philistines. 8 They said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying(R) out to the Lord our God for us, that he may rescue us from the hand of the Philistines.” 9 Then Samuel(S) took a suckling lamb and sacrificed it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out to the Lord on Israel’s behalf, and the Lord answered him.(T)

10 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered(U) with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic(V) 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(W) and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,[b](X) saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

13 So the Philistines were subdued(Y) 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(Z) 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.(AA)

15 Samuel(AB) continued as Israel’s leader(AC) all(AD) the days of his life. 16 From year to year he went on a circuit from Bethel(AE) to Gilgal(AF) to Mizpah, judging(AG) Israel in all those places. 17 But he always went back to Ramah,(AH) where his home was, and there he also held court(AI) for Israel. And he built an altar(AJ) there to the Lord.
