14 The cities the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and Israel rescued [the cities'] territory from the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all his days.
16 And he went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and was judge for Israel in all those places.
17 Then he would return to Ramah, for his home was there; there he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
