5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel in Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the Lord.
6 And they gathered together in 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 sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
7 And when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel were gathered together in Mizpeh, the cardinals of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 And the sons 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.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it for a burnt offering completely unto the Lord, and Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
10 And it came to pass as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering that the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines and crushed them, and they were smitten before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh and pursued the Philistines and smote them until they were below Bethcar.
