1 Samuel 7:12-14
New English Translation
12 Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen.[a] He named it Ebenezer,[b] saying, “Up to here the Lord has helped us.” 13 So the Philistines were defeated; they did not invade Israel again. The hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 The cities that the Philistines had captured from Israel were returned to Israel, from Ekron to Gath. Israel also delivered their territory from the control[c] of the Philistines. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.
