1 Samuel 7:3 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 7:3

1 Then the men of ^aKirjath Jearim came and took the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of ^bAbinadab on the hill, and ^cconsecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord.

Samuel Judges Israel

2 So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim a long time; it was there twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.

3 Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you ^areturn to the Lord with all your hearts, then ^bput away the foreign gods and the ^cAshtoreths from among you, and ^dprepare your hearts for the Lord, and ^eserve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”

4 So the children of Israel put away the ^aBaals and the Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.

5 And Samuel said, ^a“Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and ^bI will pray to the Lord for you.”

6 So they gathered together at Mizpah, ^adrew water, and poured it out before the Lord. And they ^bfasted that day, and said there, ^c“We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.
