1  And the men³⁷⁶ of Kirjath-jearim⁷¹⁵⁷ came,⁹³⁵ and fetched up^{5927 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and brought⁹³⁵ it into⁴¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Abinadab⁴¹ in the hill,¹³⁸⁹ and sanctified⁶⁹⁴² Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ his son¹¹²¹ to keep^{8104 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

2  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ while^{4480 3117} the ark⁷²⁷ abode³⁴²⁷ in Kirjath-jearim,⁷¹⁵⁷ that the time³¹¹⁷ was long;⁷²³⁵ for it was¹⁹⁶¹ twenty⁶²⁴² years:⁸¹⁴¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ lamented⁵⁰⁹¹ after³¹⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ do return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ with all³⁶⁰⁵ your hearts,³⁸²⁴ then put away^{5493 853} the strange⁵²³⁶ gods⁴³⁰ and Ashtaroth⁶²⁵² from among^{4480 8432} you, and prepare³⁵⁵⁹ your hearts³⁸²⁴ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ him only:⁹⁰⁵ and he will deliver⁵³³⁷ you out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

4  Then the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did put away^{5493 853} Baalim¹¹⁶⁸ and Ashtaroth,⁶²⁵² and served^{5647 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ only.⁹⁰⁵

5  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ Gather^{6908 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to Mizpeh,⁴⁷⁰⁹ and I will pray⁶⁴¹⁹ for¹¹⁵⁷ you unto⁴¹³ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

6  And they gathered together⁶⁹⁰⁸ to Mizpeh,⁴⁷⁰⁹ and drew⁷⁵⁷⁹ water,⁴³²⁵ and poured it out⁸²¹⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and fasted⁶⁶⁸⁴ on that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ and said⁵⁵⁹ there,⁸⁰³³ We have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ judged^{8199 853} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in Mizpeh.⁴⁷⁰⁹

7  And when the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were gathered together⁶⁹⁰⁸ to Mizpeh,⁴⁷⁰⁹ the lords⁵⁶³³ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ went up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁴¹³ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ And when the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, they were afraid³³⁷² of^{4480 6440} the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

8  And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ Cease²⁷⁹⁰ not⁴⁰⁸ to cry^{4480 2199} unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ for⁴⁴⁸⁰ us, that he will save³⁴⁶⁷ us out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

9  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ took³⁹⁴⁷ a²⁵⁹ sucking²⁴⁶¹ lamb,²⁹²⁴ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ it for a burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ wholly³⁶³² unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ cried²¹⁹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for¹¹⁵⁷ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ heard⁶⁰³⁰ him.

10  And as Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ offering up⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ drew near⁵⁰⁶⁶ to battle⁴⁴²¹ against Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ but the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thundered⁷⁴⁸¹ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ thunder⁶⁹⁶³ on that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and discomfited²⁰⁰⁰ them; and they were smitten⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

11  And the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Mizpeh,⁴⁷⁰⁹ and pursued^{7291 853} the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and smote⁵²²¹ them, until⁵⁷⁰⁴ they came under^{4480 8478} Beth-car.¹⁰³³

12  Then Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ took³⁹⁴⁷ a²⁵⁹ stone,⁶⁸ and set⁷⁷⁶⁰ it between⁹⁹⁶ Mizpeh⁴⁷⁰⁹ and Shen,⁸¹²⁹ and called^{7121 853} the name⁸⁰³⁴ of it Ebenezer,⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Hitherto^{5704 2009} hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ helped⁵⁸²⁶ us.

13  So the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ were subdued,³⁶⁶⁵ and they came⁹³⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ more^{3254 5750} into the coast¹³⁶⁶ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ against the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰

14  And the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ had taken³⁹⁴⁷ from^{4480 854} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were restored⁷⁷²⁵ to Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ from Ekron^{4480 6138} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Gath;¹⁶⁶¹ and the coasts¹³⁶⁶ thereof did Israel³⁴⁷⁸ deliver⁵³³⁷ out of the hands^{4480 3027} of the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰ And there was¹⁹⁶¹ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ between⁹⁹⁶ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the Amorites.⁵⁶⁷

15  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ judged^{8199 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of his life.²⁴¹⁶

16  And he went¹⁹⁸⁰ from^{4880 1767} year⁸¹⁴¹ to year⁸¹⁴¹ in circuit⁵⁴³⁷ to Bethel,¹⁰⁰⁸ and Gilgal,¹⁵³⁷ and Mizpeh,⁴⁷⁰⁹ and judged^{8199 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in⁸⁵⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ those⁴²⁸ places.⁴⁷²⁵

17  And his return⁸⁶⁶⁶ was to Ramah;⁷⁴¹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ was his house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and there⁸⁰³³ he judged^{8199 853} Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and there⁸⁰³³ he built¹¹²⁹ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ unto the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

1 καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄνδρες Καριαθιαριμ καὶ ἀνάγουσιν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ εἰσάγουσιν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον Αμιναδαβ τὸν ἐν τῷ βουνῷ καὶ τὸν Ελεαζαρ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἡγίασαν φυλάσσειν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου

2 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἡμέρας ἦν ἡ κιβωτὸς ἐν Καριαθιαριμ ἐπλήθυναν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ ἐγένοντο εἴκοσι ἔτη καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν πᾶς οἶκος Ισραηλ ὀπίσω κυρίου

3 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς πάντα οἶκον Ισραηλ λέγων εἰ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν ὑμεῖς ἐπιστρέφετε πρὸς κύριον περιέλετε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ἄλση καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν πρὸς κύριον καὶ δουλεύσατε αὐτῷ μόνῳ καὶ ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων

4 καὶ περιεῖλον οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τὰς Βααλιμ καὶ τὰ ἄλση Ασταρωθ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν κυρίῳ μόνῳ

5 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ ἀθροίσατε πάντα Ισραηλ εἰς Μασσηφαθ καὶ προσεύξομαι περὶ ὑμῶν πρὸς κύριον

6 καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Μασσηφαθ καὶ ὑδρεύονται ὕδωρ καὶ ἐξέχεαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπαν ἡμαρτήκαμεν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐδίκαζεν Σαμουηλ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ εἰς Μασσηφαθ

7 καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι συνηθροίσθησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ εἰς Μασσηφαθ καὶ ἀνέβησαν σατράπαι ἀλλοφύλων ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων

8 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς Σαμουηλ μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ βοᾶν πρὸς κύριον θεόν σου καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων

9 καὶ ἔλαβεν Σαμουηλ ἄρνα γαλαθηνὸν ἕνα καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωσιν σὺν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐβόησεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς κύριον περὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ κύριος

10 καὶ ἦν Σαμουηλ ἀναφέρων τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι προσῆγον εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐβρόντησεν κύριος ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ συνεχύθησαν καὶ ἔπταισαν ἐνώπιον Ισραηλ

11 καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἄνδρες Ισραηλ ἐκ Μασσηφαθ καὶ κατεδίωξαν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἕως ὑποκάτω τοῦ Βαιθχορ

12 καὶ ἔλαβεν Σαμουηλ λίθον ἕνα καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἀνὰ μέσον Μασσηφαθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς παλαιᾶς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Αβενεζερ λίθος τοῦ βοηθοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἕως ἐνταῦθα ἐβοήθησεν ἡμῖν κύριος

13 καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν κύριος τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι προσελθεῖν εἰς ὅριον Ισραηλ καὶ ἐγενήθη χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ Σαμουηλ

14 καὶ ἀπεδόθησαν αἱ πόλεις ἃς ἔλαβον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέδωκαν αὐτὰς τῷ Ισραηλ ἀπὸ Ἀσκαλῶνος ἕως Αζοβ καὶ τὸ ὅριον Ισραηλ ἀφείλαντο ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἦν εἰρήνη ἀνὰ μέσον Ισραηλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ Αμορραίου

15 καὶ ἐδίκαζεν Σαμουηλ τὸν Ισραηλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ

16 καὶ ἐπορεύετο κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐκύκλου Βαιθηλ καὶ τὴν Γαλγαλα καὶ τὴν Μασσηφαθ καὶ ἐδίκαζεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις τούτοις

17 ἡ δὲ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς Αρμαθαιμ ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδίκαζεν ἐκεῖ τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ

1 Venerunt ergo viri Cariathiarim, et reduxerunt arcam Domini, et intulerunt eam in domum Abinadab in Gabaa: Eleazarum autem filium ejus sanctificaverunt, ut custodiret arcam Domini.

2 Et factum est, ex qua die mansit arca Domini in Cariathiarim, multiplicati sunt dies (erat quippe jam annus vigesimus), et requievit omnis domus Israël post Dominum.

3 Ait autem Samuel ad universam domum Israël, dicens: Si in toto corde vestro revertimini ad Dominum, auferte deos alienos de medio vestri, Baalim et Astaroth: et præparate corda vestra Domino, et servite ei soli, et eruet vos de manu Philisthiim.

4 Abstulerunt ergo filii Israël Baalim et Astaroth, et servierunt Domino soli.

5 Dixit autem Samuel: Congregate universum Israël in Masphath, ut orem pro vobis Dominum.

6 Et convenerunt in Masphath: hauseruntque aquam, et effuderunt in conspectu Domini: et jejunaverunt in die illa atque dixerunt ibi: Peccavimus Domino. Judicavitque Samuel filios Israël in Masphath.

7 Et audierunt Philisthiim quod congregati essent filii Israël in Masphath, et ascenderunt satrapæ Philisthinorum ad Israël. Quod cum audissent filii Israël, timuerunt a facie Philisthinorum.

8 Dixeruntque ad Samuelem: Ne cesses pro nobis clamare ad Dominum Deum nostrum, ut salvet nos de manu Philisthinorum.

9 Tulit autem Samuel agnum lactentem unum, et obtulit illum holocaustum integrum Domino: et clamavit Samuel ad Dominum pro Israël, et exaudivit eum Dominus.

10 Factum est autem, cum Samuel offerret holocaustum, Philisthiim iniere prælium contra Israël: intonuit autem Dominus fragore magno in die illa super Philisthiim, et exterruit eos, et cæsi sunt a facie Israël.

11 Egressique viri Israël de Masphath, persecuti sunt Philisthæos, et percusserunt eos usque ad locum qui erat subter Bethchar.

12 Tulit autem Samuel lapidem unum, et posuit eum inter Masphath et inter Sen: et vocavit nomen loci illius, Lapis adjutorii. Dixitque: Hucusque auxiliatus est nobis Dominus.

13 Et humiliati sunt Philisthiim, nec apposuerunt ultra ut venirent in terminos Israël. Facta est itaque manus Domini super Philisthæos cunctis diebus Samuelis.

14 Et redditæ sunt urbes quas tulerant Philisthiim ab Israël, Israëli, ab Accaron usque Geth, et terminos suos: liberavitque Israël de manu Philisthinorum, eratque pax inter Israël et Amorrhæum.

15 Judicabat quoque Samuel Israëlem cunctis diebus vitæ suæ:

16 et ibat per singulos annos circuiens Bethel et Galgala et Masphath, et judicabat Israëlem in supradictis locis.

17 Revertebaturque in Ramatha: ibi enim erat domus ejus, et ibi judicabat Israëlem: ædificavit etiam ibi altare Domino.
