1 Samuel 7:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

12 Samuel then took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Jeshanah; he named it Ebenezer,[a] explaining, “As far as this place the Lord has been our help.” 13 Thus were the Philistines subdued, never again to enter the territory of Israel, for the hand of the Lord was against them as long as Samuel lived.(A) 14 The cities from Ekron to Gath which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to them. Israel also freed the territory of these cities from Philistine domination. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.[b]
