1 Samuel 7:12-14
Common English Bible
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah.[a] He named it Ebenezer,[b] explaining, “The Lord helped us to this very point.”
13 So the Philistines were defeated, and they stopped coming into Israelite territory. The Lord’s hand was against the Philistines throughout Samuel’s life. 14 The towns the Philistines had captured from Israel, from Ekron to Gath, were returned to Israel. Israel also recovered the territory around those two cities from the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
