CHAP. VII. 1 The Arke is brought to Kiriath-iearim. 3 Samuel exhorteth the people to forsake their sinnes and turne to the Lord. 10 The Philistims fight against Israel and are ouercome. 15 Samuel iudgeth Israel.


1   Then the men of note Kiriath-iearim came, and tooke vp the Arke of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill: and they sanctified Eleazar his sonne, to keepe the Arke of the Lord.


2   (For while the Arke abode in Kiriath-iearim, the time was long, for it was twentie yeeres) and al the house of Israel lamented note after þe; Lord.


3   ¶2; Then Samuel spake vnto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye be come againe vnto the Lord with all your heart, note put away the strange gods from among you, and note Ashtaroth, & direct your hearts vnto the Lord, & serue him note only, and he Israel repenteth. shall deliuer you out of the hand of þe; Philistims.


4   Then the children of Israel did put away note Baalim & Ashtaroth, & serued the Lord onely.


5   And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to note Mizpeh, and I will pray for you vnto the Lord.


6   And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and note drewe water and powred it out before the Lord, and fasted the same day, and sayd there, We haue sinned against the Lord. And Samuel iudged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.


7   When the Philistims heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the princes of the Philistims went vp against Israel: and when the children of Israel heard that, they were afraide of the Philistims.


8   And the children of Israel sayd to Samuel, Cease not to note crie vnto the Lorde our God for vs, that hee may saue vs out of the hand of the Philistims.


9   Then Samuel tooke a sucking lambe, and offered it all together for a burnt offering vnto the Lord, and Samuel cryed vnto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.


10   And as Samuel offered the burnt offering, the Philistims came to fight against Israel: but the Lord note thundred with a great thunder that day vpon the Philistims, and scattered them: so they were slaine before Israel.


11   And the men of Israel went from Mizpeh and pursued the Philistims, and smote them vntill they came vnder Beth-car.


12   Then Samuel tooke a stone and pitched it betweene Mizpeh and note Shen, and called the name thereof, Eben-ezer, and he sayd, Hitherto hath the Lord holpen vs.


13   ¶2; So the Philistims were brought vnder, and they came no more againe into the coastes of Israel: and the hand of the Lorde was against the Philistims all the dayes of Samuel.


14   Also the cities which the Philistims had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Ekron euen to Gath: and Israel deliuered the coastes of the same out of the hands of the Philistims: and there was peace betweene Israel and the note Amorites.


15   And Samuel iudged Israel all the dayes of his life,


16   And went about yeere by yere to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and iudged Israel in all those places.


17   Afterward hee returned to Ramah: for there was his house, and there he iudged Israel: also he built an note altar there vnto the Lord.
