1 Samuel 7:5-8

7:5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord on your behalf.” 7:6 After they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the Lord. They fasted on that day, and they confessed¹ there, “We have sinned against the Lord.” So Samuel led² the people of Israel at Mizpah.

7:7 When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, the leaders of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the Israelites heard about this, they were afraid of the Philistines. 7:8 The Israelites said to Samuel, “Keep³ crying out to the Lord our⁴ God so that he may save us⁵ from the hand of the Philistines!”

¹tn Heb “said.”

²tn Heb “judged”; NAB “began to judge”; TEV “settled disputes among.”

³tn Heb “don’t stop.”

⁴tc The LXX reads “your God” rather than the MT’s “our God.”

⁵tn After the negated jussive, the prefixed verbal form with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose/result.
