1 Samuelsboken 7
Svenska 1917
7 Då kommo Kirjat-Jearims män och hämtade HERRENS ark ditupp och förde den in i Abinadabs hus på höjden. Och hans son Eleasar helgade de till att hava vården om HERRENS ark.
2 Och från den dag då arken fick sin plats i Kirjat-Jearim förflöt en lång tid: tjugu år förgingo; och hela Israels hus suckade nu efter HERREN.
3 Men Samuel sade till hela Israels hus: »Om I av allt edert hjärta viljen vända om till HERREN, så skaffen bort ifrån eder de främmande gudarna och Astarterna, och rikten edra hjärtan till HERREN och tjänen honom allena, så skall han rädda eder ifrån filistéernas hand.»
4 Då skaffade Israels barn bort Baalerna och Astarterna och tjänade HERREN allena.
5 Och Samuel sade: »Församlen hela Israel i Mispa, så vill jag där bedja till HERREN för eder.»
6 Då församlade de sig i Mispa och öste upp vatten och göto ut det in. för HERREN och fastade den dagen; och de sade där: »Vi hava syndat mot HERREN.» Och Samuel dömde Israels barn i Mispa.
7 Men när filistéerna hörde att Israels barn hade församlat sig i Mispa, drogo filistéernas hövdingar ditupp mot Israel. Då Israels barn hörde detta, blevo de förskräckta för filistéerna.
8 Och Israels barn sade till Samuel: »Hör icke upp att ropa för oss till HERREN, vår Gud, att han må frälsa oss ifrån filistéernas hand.»
9 Då tog Samuel ett dilamm och offrade det såsom ett heloffer, till brännoffer åt HERREN; och Samuel ropade till HERREN för Israel, och HERREN bönhörde honom.
10 Under det att Samuel offrade brännoffret, ryckte nämligen filistéerna fram till strid mot Israel; men HERREN lät ett starkt tordön dundra över filistéerna på den dagen och förvirrade dem, så att de blevo slagna av Israel.
11 Och Israels män drogo ut från Mispa och förföljde filistéerna och nedgjorde dem, under det att de förföljde dem ända till trakten nedanför Bet-Kar.
12 Då tog Samuel en sten och reste den mellan Mispa och Sen och gav den namnet Eben-Haeser, i det han sade: »Allt härintill har HERREN hjälpt oss.»
13 Så blevo filistéerna kuvade och kommo icke mer in i Israels land Och HERRENS hand var emot filistéerna, så länge Samuel levde.
14 Och de städer som filistéerna hade tagit från Israel kommo tillbaka till Israel, allasammans, från Ekron ända till Gat; och det tillhörande området tog Israel också igen ifrån filistéerna. Och mellan Israel och amoréerna blev fred.
15 Och Samuel var domare i Israel, så länge han levde.
16 Vart år färdades han omkring till Betel, Gilgal och Mispa; och han dömde Israel på alla dessa platser.
17 Sedan plägade han vända tillbaka till Rama, ty där var hans hem, och där dömde han eljest Israel där byggde han ock ett altare åt HERREN.
1 Samuel 7
King James Version
7 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord.
2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.
3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the Lord only.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the Lord.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the Lord: and Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel; and the Lord heard him.
10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.
12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
17 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the Lord.
Shmuel Alef 7
Orthodox Jewish Bible
7 And the anshei Kiryat-Yearim came, and took up the Aron Hashem, and brought it into the bais Avinadav on the givah (hill), and set apart as kodesh El’azar bno to be shomer over the Aron Hashem.
2 And it came to pass, while the Aron abode in Kiryat-Yearim, that the time was long; for it was esrim shanah; and kol Bais Yisroel mourned after Hashem.
3 And Shmuel spoke unto kol Bais Yisroel, saying, If ye do return unto Hashem with all your hearts, put away the elohei hanekhar and Ashtarot from among you, commit your hearts unto Hashem, serve Him only; and He will deliver you out of the yad Pelishtim.
4 Then the Bnei Yisroel did put away Baalim and Ashtarot, and served Hashem only.
5 And Shmuel said, Gather kol Yisroel to Mitzpah, and I will make intercessory prayer and daven for you unto Hashem.
6 And they gathered together at Mitzpah, and drew mayim, and poured it out before Hashem, and did a tzom on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Hashem. And Shmuel judged the Bnei Yisroel at Mitzpah.
7 And when the Pelishtim heard that the Bnei Yisroel were gathered together at Mitzpah, the rulers of the Pelishtim went up against Yisroel. And when the Bnei Yisroel heard it, they were afraid of the Pelishtim.
8 And the Bnei Yisroel said to Shmuel, Cease not to cry out unto Hashem Eloheinu for us, that He will save us out of the yad Pelishtim.
9 And Shmuel took a suckling lamb, and offered him for an olah unto Hashem; and Shmuel cried out unto Hashem on behalf of Yisroel; and Hashem answered him.
10 And as Shmuel was offering up the olah, the Pelishtim drew near to battle against Yisroel; but Hashem thundered with a kol gadol on that day upon the Pelishtim, and threw them into confusion and panic; and they were struck down before Yisroel.
11 And the Anshei Yisroel went from Mitzpah, and pursued the Pelishtim, and struck them down, until they came to below Beit-Kar.
12 Then Shmuel took one even (stone), and set it up between Mitzpah and Shen, and called the shem of it Even-Ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Hashem helped us.
13 So the Pelishtim were subdued, and they came no more into the territory of Yisroel; and the yad Hashem was against the Pelishtim all the days of Shmuel.
14 And the towns which the Pelishtim had captured from Yisroel were restored to Yisroel, from Ekron even unto Gat; and the territory thereof did Yisroel deliver out of the yad Pelishtim. And there was shalom between Yisroel and HaEmori (the Amorites).
15 And Shmuel judged Yisroel all the days of his life.
16 And he went from shanah b’shanah in circuit to Beit-El, and Gilgal, and Mitzpah, and judged Yisroel in all those places.
17 And his teshuvah (return) was to Ramah; for there was his bais; and there he judged Yisroel; and there he built a Mizbe’ach unto Hashem.
