1 Samuel 7:12
Shen was a tooth-pointed or sharp-pointed rock (see I Samuel 14:4), nowhere else mentioned and not identified.
10 Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. aBut the Lord thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.
12 Then Samuel atook a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name1 Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
13 aSo the Philistines were subdued, and they bdid not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 Then the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory from the hands of the Philistines. Also there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15 And Samuel ajudged Israel all the days of his life.
16 He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.
17 But ahe always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he bbuilt an altar to the Lord.
