BRAGADAYJAH 821
The Gathering at Mizpeh
And at Samuel’s word, the children of
Israel gathered at Mizpeh and drew water and poured it out before the Lord, and
fasted on that day and said, “We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel
judged the children of Israel at Mizpeh. And when the Philistines heard that
the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpeh, the Lords of the
Philistines went up against Israel; and when the children of Israel heard it
they were very much afraid of the Philistine.
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.”
And Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it a burnt offering holy unto the
Lord. And Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him. And as
Samuel was offering up the burnt offering the Philistines drew near unto battle
against Israel; but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon
the Philistines and discomforted them; and they were scattered before Israel.
