1 Samuel 7:11-12

7:11 Then the men of Israel left Mizpah and chased the Philistines, striking them down all the way to an area below Beth Car.

7:12 Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen. 1  He named it Ebenezer, 2  saying, “Up to here the Lord has helped us.”

1 tn Cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT “Jeshanah.”

2 sn The name Ebenezer (אֶבֶן הָעָזֶר) means “stone of help” in Hebrew (cf. TEV); NLT adds the meaning parenthetically after the name.
