CLV(i)
9 And Samuel takes a fat lamb, and causes it to go up--a burnt-offering whole to Yahweh; and Samuel cries unto Yahweh for Israel, and Yahweh answers him;"
10 and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up--and the Philistines have drawn nigh to battle against Israel--and Yahweh does thunder with a great noise, on that day, upon the Philistines, and troubles them, and they are smitten before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and smite them unto the place of Beth-Car.
12 And Samuel takes a stone, and sets [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calls its name Eben-Ezer, saying, `Hitherto has Yahweh helped us..
13 And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added any more to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of Yahweh is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel--from Ekron even unto Gath--and their border has Israel delivered out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
15 And Samuel judges Israel all the days of his life,
16 and he has gone from year to year, and gone round Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these places;"
17 and his returning [is] to Ramath, for there [is] his house, and there he has judged Israel, and he builds there an altar to Yahweh.
