1 Samuel 7 (성경통독): So ... finally the Chest of the Lord was back. The men of Kiriath Jearim came and got the Chest of God and delivered it to the house of Abinadab on the hill. They ordained his son, Eleazar, to take responsibility for the Chest of God. Under Samuel’s strong leadership, the House of Israel repented - got rid of the gods and goddesses, the images of Baal and Ashtoreth, and gave their exclusive attention and service to God. Therefore, He would save them from Philistine oppression. In fact, Israel beat the Philistines when God thundered, a huge thunderclap exploding among the Philistines, at a place between Mizpah and Shen being remembered as Ebenezer” (Rock of Help), saying, “This marks the place where God helped us.” Looking at the big picture, Samuel gave solid leadership to Israel his entire life. Every year he went on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah. He gave leadership to Israel in each of these places. But always he would return to Ramah, where he lived, and preside from there. That is where he built an altar to God.
