7
1And the men of Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests] came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and brought it into the house of Avinadav [my father is noble] in the hill, and sanctified El’azar [God has helped] his son to keep the ark of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
2And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests], that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] lamented after the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
3And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] spoke unto all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, If you2f do return unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)] from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
4Then the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did put away Ba’alim [lords (false gods)] and ‘Ashtarot [Star (female deity)], and served the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) only.
5And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, Gather all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to Mitzpah [Watchtower], and I will pray for you unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
6And they gathered together to Mitzpah [Watchtower], and drew water, and poured [it] out before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] judged the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in Mitzpah [Watchtower].
7And when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] heard that the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] were gathered together to Mitzpah [Watchtower], the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] went up against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. And when the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] heard [it], they were afraid of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
8And the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] said to Sh’mu’el [His name is El], Cease not to cry unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
9And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt offering wholly unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and Sh’mu’el [His name is El] cried unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) heard him.
10And as Sh’mu’el [His name is El] was offering up the burnt offering, the P’lishtim [Immigrants] drew near to battle against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: but the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and scattered (defeated in battle) them; and they were smitten before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
11And the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went out of Mitzpah [Watchtower], and pursued the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and struck them, until [they came] under Beit-Kar [house of the ram].
12Then Sh’mu’el [His name is El] took a stone, and set [it] between Mitzpah [Watchtower] and Shen [crag], and called the name of it Even-’’Ezer [treasure] [stone of help], saying, Until now has the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) helped us.
13So the P’lishtim [Immigrants] were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and the hand of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was against the P’lishtim [Immigrants] all the days of Sh’mu’el [His name is El].
14And the cities which the P’lishtim [Immigrants] had taken from Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] were restored to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], from ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots] even unto Gat [Winepress]; and the coasts thereof did Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] deliver out of the hands of the P’lishtim [Immigrants]. And there was peace between Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and the Emori [Highlanders].
15And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] all the days of his life.
16And he went from year to year in circuit to Beit-El [House of God], and Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling], and Mitzpah [Watchtower], and judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in all those places.
17And his return [was] to Ramah [Hill]; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and there he built an altar unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
