1 Samuel 7:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Samuel said, “Bring all Israel together at Mizpah, and I’ll pray to the Lord on your behalf.” ⁶ So they came together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out in the Lord’s presence.

On that day they fasted there and said, “We have sinned against the Lord.” Then Samuel judged the Israelis at Mizpah. ⁷ When the Philistines heard that the Israelis had gathered at Mizpah, the Philistine lords came up against Israel. When the Israelis heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.
