CHAPTER 4
1 Samuel 4:1
1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the
Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched
in Aphek.
1 Samuel 4:2
2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they
joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the
army in the field  about four  thousand  men. 1 Samuel 4:3
3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said,
Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch
the ark  of the covenant  of the LORD  out of Shiloh  unto us, that, when it
cometh  among  us, it may save  us out of the hand  of our enemies. 1 Samuel
4:4
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of
the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and
the two sons of Eli,  Hophni  and Phinehas,  were there with the ark  of the
covenant  of God.
1 Samuel 4:5
5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel
shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. 1 Samuel 4:6
6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What
meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they
understood that the ark of the LORD  was come  into the camp. 1 Samuel 4:7
7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp.
And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore. 1
Samuel 4:8
8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these
are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
1 Samuel 4:9
9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not
servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men,
and fight.
1 Samuel 4:10
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man
into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel
thirty  thousand  footmen.
1 Samuel 4:11
11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
were slain.
1 Samuel 4:12
12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same
day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. 1 Samuel 4:13
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his
heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and
told  it, all the city  cried out. 1 Samuel 4:14
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise
of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli. 1 Samuel 4:15
15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could
not see.
1 Samuel 4:16
16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to
day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son? 1 Samuel 4:17
17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines,
and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons
also, Hophni  and Phinehas,  are dead,  and the ark  of God is taken.
1 Samuel 4:18
18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell
from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he
died: for he was an old  man,  and heavy.  And he had judged  Israel forty 
years.
1 Samuel 4:19
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be
delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and
that her father in law and her husband  were dead,  she bowed  herself and
travailed;  for her pains  came  upon her. 1 Samuel 4:20
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her,
Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she
regard it.
1 Samuel 4:21
21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel:
because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her
husband.
1 Samuel 4:22
22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is
taken.
CHAPTER 5
1 Samuel 5:1
1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto
Ashdod.
1 Samuel 5:2
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of
Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
1 Samuel 5:3
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen
upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and
set  him in his place  again. 1 Samuel 5:4
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen
upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon
and both  the palms  of his hands  were cut off  upon the threshold; only the
stump of Dagon  was left  to him. 1 Samuel 5:5
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house,
tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. 1 Samuel 5:6
6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed
them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. 1 Samuel
5:7
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God
of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon
our god.
1 Samuel 5:8
8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them,
and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they
answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel  be carried about  unto Gath. And
they carried  the ark  of the God  of Israel  about  thither. 1 Samuel 5:9
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD
was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the
city, both small and great,  and they had emerods  in their secret parts.
1 Samuel 5:10
10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark
of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought
about the ark  of the God  of Israel  to us, to slay  us and our people.
1 Samuel 5:11
11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and
said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own
place, that it slay us not, and our people:  for there was a deadly destruction
 throughout all the city;  the hand  of God  was very  heavy there.
1 Samuel 5:12
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the
city went up to heaven.
CHAPTER 6
1 Samuel 6:1
1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1 Samuel 6:2
2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What
shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his
place.
1 Samuel 6:3
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not
empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed,
and it shall be known to you why his hand  is not removed  from you. 1 Samuel
6:4
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to
him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the
number of the lords of the Philistines:  for one  plague  was on you all, and
on your lords.
1 Samuel 6:5
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that
mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he
will lighten his hand  from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your
land.
1 Samuel 6:6
6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh
hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not
let the people go, and they departed? 1 Samuel 6:7
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath
come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart,  and bring  their calves home  from
them:
1 Samuel 6:8
8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of
gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side
thereof; and send it away,  that it may go. 1 Samuel 6:9
9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he
hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his
hand that smote us: it was a chance  that happened to us. 1 Samuel 6:10
10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and
shut up their calves at home:
1 Samuel 6:11
11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the
mice of gold and the images of their emerods. 1 Samuel 6:12
12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along
the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to
the left;  and the lords  of the Philistines  went  after  them unto the border
 of Bethshemesh.
1 Samuel 6:13
13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and
they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 1 Samuel
6:14
14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there,
where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered
the kine  a burnt offering  unto the LORD. 1 Samuel 6:15
15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with
it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the
men of Bethshemesh  offered  burnt offerings  and sacrificed sacrifices  the
same day  unto the LORD. 1 Samuel 6:16
16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to
Ekron the same day.
1 Samuel 6:17
17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a
trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one,
for Gath  one,  for Ekron  one; 1 Samuel 6:18
18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the
Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country
villages, even unto the great  stone of Abel,  whereon they set down the ark 
of the LORD:  which stone remaineth unto this day  in the field  of Joshua, 
the Bethshemite.
1 Samuel 6:19
19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of
the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten
men: and the people  lamented,  because the LORD  had smitten  many of the
people  with a great  slaughter. 1 Samuel 6:20
20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD
God? and to whom shall he go up from us? 1 Samuel 6:21
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The
Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it
up to you.
CHAPTER 7
1 Samuel 7:1
1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and
brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his
son  to keep  the ark  of the LORD. 1 Samuel 7:2
2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was
long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the
LORD.
1 Samuel 7:3
3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto
the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth
from among  you, and prepare  your hearts  unto the LORD,  and serve  him only:
and he will deliver  you out of the hand  of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 7:4
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the
LORD only.
1 Samuel 7:5
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto
the LORD.
1 Samuel 7:6
6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out
before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against
the LORD. And Samuel  judged  the children  of Israel  in Mizpeh. 1 Samuel 7:7
7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered
together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And
when the children of Israel heard  it, they were afraid  of  the Philistines.
1 Samuel 7:8
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our
God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Samuel
7:9
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly
unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel;  and the LORD heard 
him.
1 Samuel 7:10
10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near
to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that
day upon the Philistines,  and discomfited  them; and they were smitten  before
 Israel.
1 Samuel 7:11
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and
smote them, until they came under Bethcar. 1 Samuel 7:12
12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the
name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped  us. 1 Samuel 7:13
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of
Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of
Samuel.
1 Samuel 7:14
14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to
Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver
out of the hands of the Philistines.  And there was peace  between Israel  and
the Amorites.
1 Samuel 7:15
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. 1 Samuel 7:16
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh,
and judged Israel in all those places. 1 Samuel 7:17
17 And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged
Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
