Context
7:8 The Israelites said to Samuel, “Keep 1  crying out to the Lord our 2  God so that he may save us 3  from the hand of the Philistines!” 7:9 So Samuel took a nursing lamb 4  and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. Samuel cried out to the Lord on Israel’s behalf, and the Lord answered him.
