¹And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ אַנְשֵׁ֣י יְעָרִ֗ים וַֽיַּעֲלוּ֙ אֶת אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֔ה וַיָּבִ֣אוּ אֹת֔וֹ אֶל בֵּ֥ית אֲבִינָדָ֖ב בַּגִּבְעָ֑ה וְאֶת אֶלְעָזָ֤ר בְּנוֹ֙ קִדְּשׁ֔וּ לִשְׁמֹ֖ר אֶת אֲר֥וֹן יְהוָֽה
²And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.וַיְהִ֗י מִיּ֞וֹם שֶׁ֤בֶת הָֽאָרוֹן֙ יְעָרִ֔ים וַיִּרְבּוּ֙ הַיָּמִ֔ים וַיִּֽהְי֖וּ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה וַיִּנָּה֛וּ כָּל בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אַחֲרֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
³And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל אֶל כָּל בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ לֵאמֹר֒ אִם בְּכָל לְבַבְכֶ֗ם אַתֶּ֤ם שָׁבִים֙ אֶל יְהוָ֔ה הָסִ֜ירוּ אֶת אֱלֹהֵ֧י הַנֵּכָ֛ר מִתּוֹכְכֶ֖ם וְהָעַשְׁתָּר֑וֹת וְהָכִ֨ינוּ לְבַבְכֶ֤ם אֶל יְהוָה֙ וְעִבְדֻ֣הוּ לְבַדּ֔וֹ וְיַצֵּ֥ל אֶתְכֶ֖ם מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים
⁴Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.וַיָּסִ֨ירוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶת הַבְּעָלִ֖ים וְאֶת הָעַשְׁתָּרֹ֑ת וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת יְהוָ֖ה לְבַדּֽוֹ
⁵And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל קִבְצ֥וּ אֶת כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הַמִּצְפָּ֑תָה וְאֶתְפַּלֵּ֥ל בַּעַדְכֶ֖ם אֶל יְהוָֽה
⁶And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.וַיִּקָּבְצ֣וּ הַ֠מִּצְפָּתָה וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ מַ֜יִם וַֽיִּשְׁפְּכ֣וּ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה וַיָּצ֨וּמוּ֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ שָׁ֔ם חָטָ֖אנוּ לַיהוָ֑ה וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֧ט שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל אֶת בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בַּמִּצְפָּֽה
⁷And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּֽי הִתְקַבְּצ֤וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ הַמִּצְפָּ֔תָה וַיַּעֲל֥וּ סַרְנֵֽי פְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים אֶל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּֽרְא֖וּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים
⁸And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֶל שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל אַל תַּחֲרֵ֣שׁ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ מִזְּעֹ֖ק אֶל יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְיֹשִׁעֵ֖נוּ מִיַּ֥ד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים
⁹And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.וַיִּקַּ֣ח שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל טְלֵ֤ה חָלָב֙ אֶחָ֔ד ויעלה וַיַּעֲלֵ֧הוּ עוֹלָ֛ה כָּלִ֖יל לַֽיהוָ֑ה וַיִּזְעַ֨ק שְׁמוּאֵ֤ל אֶל יְהוָה֙ בְּעַ֣ד יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַֽיַּעֲנֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה
¹⁰And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.וַיְהִ֤י שְׁמוּאֵל֙ מַעֲלֶ֣ה הָעוֹלָ֔ה וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֣ים נִגְּשׁ֔וּ לַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיַּרְעֵ֣ם יְהוָ֣ה בְּקוֹל גָּ֠דוֹל בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֤וּא עַל פְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ וַיְהֻמֵּ֔ם וַיִּנָּגְפ֖וּ לִפְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
¹¹And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.וַיֵּ֨צְא֜וּ אַנְשֵׁ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִן הַמִּצְפָּ֔ה וַֽיִּרְדְּפ֖וּ אֶת פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיַּכּ֕וּם עַד מִתַּ֖חַת כָּֽר
¹²Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.וַיִּקַּ֨ח שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶ֣בֶן אַחַ֗ת וַיָּ֤שֶׂם בֵּֽין הַמִּצְפָּה֙ וּבֵ֣ין הַשֵּׁ֔ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמָ֖הּ הָעָ֑זֶר וַיֹּאמַ֕ר עַד הֵ֖נָּה עֲזָרָ֥נוּ יְהוָֽה
¹³So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.וַיִּכָּֽנְעוּ֙ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וְלֹא יָסְפ֣וּ ע֔וֹד לָב֖וֹא בִּגְב֣וּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַתְּהִ֤י יַד יְהוָה֙ בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י שְׁמוּאֵֽל
¹⁴And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.וַתָּשֹׁ֣בְנָה הֶעָרִ֡ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָֽקְחוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים֩ מֵאֵ֨ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מֵעֶקְר֣וֹן וְעַד גַּ֔ת וְאֶ֨ת גְּבוּלָ֔ן הִצִּ֥יל יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִיַּ֣ד פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיְהִ֣י שָׁל֔וֹם בֵּ֥ין יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וּבֵ֥ין הָאֱמֹרִֽי
¹⁵And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֤ט שְׁמוּאֵל֙ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י חַיָּֽיו
¹⁶And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.וְהָלַ֗ךְ מִדֵּ֤י שָׁנָה֙ בְּשָׁנָ֔ה וְסָבַב֙ אֵ֔ל וְהַגִּלְגָּ֖ל וְהַמִּצְפָּ֑ה וְשָׁפַט֙ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֵ֥ת כָּל הַמְּקוֹמ֖וֹת הָאֵֽלֶּה
¹⁷And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.וּתְשֻׁבָת֤וֹ הָרָמָ֨תָה֙ כִּֽי שָׁ֣ם בֵּית֔וֹ וְשָׁ֖ם שָׁפָ֣ט אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּֽבֶן שָׁ֥ם מִזְבֵּ֖חַ לַֽיהוָֽה
