Context Reading
11The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar. 12Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer,saying, “Yahweh helped us until now.” 13So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. Yahweh’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 14The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites. 15Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
