Samuel Subdues the Philistines
1 THEREFORE the men of Cariathiarim came, and brought back the ark of our Lord, and carried it into the house of Abinadab in Gabaa: and Eleazar his son they sanctified, that he might keep the ark of our Lord.📜💬📚
2 And it came to pass, from the day that the ark of our Lord abode in Cariathiarim, the days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested after our Lord.📜💬📚
3 And Samuel spake to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to our Lord in all your heart, take away the strange gods out of the midst of you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts to our Lord, & serve him only, and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philisthiims.📜💬📚
4 Therefore the children of Israel took away Baalim and Astaroth, and served our Lord only.📜💬📚
5 And Samuel said: Gather together all Israel into Masphath, that I may pray our Lord for you.📜💬📚
6 And they assembled into Masphath: and they drew water, and poured it out in the sight of our Lord, and they fasted that day, and said there: We have sinned to our Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath.📜💬📚
