NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 Samuel 7

Deliverance from the Philistines

1

And the menh376 of Kiriath-jearimh7157 cameh935 and tookh5927 the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 and  abroughth935 it into the househ1004 of Abinadabh41 on the hillh1389, and consecratedh6942 Eleazarh499 his sonh1121 to keeph8104 the arkh727 of the LORDh3068.

2

From the dayh3117 that the arkh727 remainedh3427 at Kiriath-jearimh7157, the timeh3117 was longh7235a, for it was twentyh6242 yearsh8141; and allh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 lamentedh5091 afterh310 the LORDh3068.

3

Then Samuelh8050 spokeh559 to allh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478, sayingh559, " aIfh518 you returnh7725 to the LORDh3068 with allh3605 your hearth3824,  bremoveh5493 the foreignh5236 godsh430 and the  cAshtarothh6252b from amongh8432 you and  ddirecth3559 your heartsh3824 to the LORDh3068 and  eserveh5647 Him aloneh905; and He will deliverh5337 you from the handh3027 of the Philistinesh6430."

4

So the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 removedh5493 the Baalsh1168a and the Ashtarothh6252b and servedh5647 the LORDh3068 aloneh905.

5

Then Samuelh8050 saidh559, "Gatherh6908 allh3605 Israelh3478 to  aMizpahh4708 and  bI will prayh6419 to the LORDh3068 for you."

6

They gatheredh6908 to Mizpahh4709, and drewh7579 waterh4325 and  apouredh8210 it out beforeh6440 the LORDh3068, and  bfastedh6684 on that dayh3117 and saidh559 thereh8033, " cWe have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068." And Samuelh8050 judgedh8199 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 at Mizpahh4709.

7

Now when the Philistinesh6430 heardh8085 that the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 had gatheredh6908 to Mizpahh4709, the lordsh5633a of the Philistinesh6430 wenth5927 up againsth413 Israelh3478. And when the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 heardh8085 it,  athey were afraidh3372a of the Philistinesh6430.

8

Then the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 saidh559 to Samuelh8050, " aDo not ceaseh2790b to cryh2199 to the LORDh3068 our Godh430 for us, that He may saveh3467 us from the handh3027 of the Philistinesh6430."

9

Samuelh8050 tookh3947  aa sucklingh2461 lambh2924 and offeredh5927 it for a wholeh3632 burnth5930a offeringh5930a to the LORDh3068; and Samuelh8050 criedh2199 to the LORDh3068 for Israelh3478 and  bthe LORDh3068 answeredh6030a him.

10

Now Samuelh8050 was offeringh5927 up the burnth5930a offeringh5930a, and the Philistinesh6430 drewh5066 nearh5066 to battleh4421 against Israelh3478. But  athe LORDh3068 thunderedh7481 with a greath1419  1thunderh6963 on that dayh3117 againsth5921 the Philistinesh6430 and  bconfusedh2000 them, so that they were  2routedh5062 beforeh6440 Israelh3478.

11

The menh376 of Israelh3478 wenth3318 out of Mizpahh4709 and pursuedh7291 the Philistinesh6430, and struckh5221 them downh5221 as farh5704 as belowh4480h8478 Beth-carh1033.

12

Then Samuelh8050  atookh3947 a stoneh68 and seth7760 it betweenh996 Mizpahh4709 and Shenh8129, and namedh7121h8034 it  1Ebenezerh72, sayingh559, "Thush2008 farh5704 the LORDh3068 has helpedh5826 us."

13

 aSo the Philistinesh6430 were subduedh3665 and  bthey didh3254 not comeh935 anymoreh5750 within the borderh1366 of Israelh3478. And the handh3027 of the LORDh3068 was against the Philistinesh6430 allh3605 the daysh3117 of Samuelh8050.

14

The citiesh5892b whichh834 the Philistinesh6430 had takenh3947 from Israelh3478 were restoredh7725 to Israelh3478, from Ekronh6138 even to Gathh1661; and Israelh3478 deliveredh5337 their territoryh1366 from the handh3027 of the Philistinesh6430. So there was peaceh7965 betweenh996 Israelh3478 and  athe Amoritesh567.

Now Samuelh8050  ajudgedh8199 Israelh3478 allh3605 the daysh3117 of his lifeh2425b.

He used to goh1980 annuallyh1767h8141 on circuith5437 to  aBethelh1008 and  bGilgalh1537 and  cMizpahh4709, and he judgedh8199 Israelh3478 in allh3605 theseh428 placesh4725.

17

Then his returnh8666 was to  aRamahh7414, for his househ1004 was thereh8033, and thereh8033 he judgedh8199 Israelh3478; and he  bbuilth1129 thereh8033 an altarh4196 to the LORDh3068.
