12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah,^* and named it Ebenezer;^* for he said, ‘Thus far the Lord has helped us.’ ¹³So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel; the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. ¹⁴The towns that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.
