1 Samuel 7:7
The Philistines went up against Israel - They went to give them battle before that, by continual accessions of numbers, they should become too powerful.
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.
7 Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 So the children of Israel said to Samuel, a“Do not cease to cry out to the Lord our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
9 And Samuel took a asuckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. Then bSamuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord answered him.
