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.  
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.
