10. While Samuel was offering the sacrifice, the Philistines moved forward to attack; but just then the Lord thundered from heaven against them. They became completely confused and fled in panic.
11. The Israelites marched out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines almost as far as Bethcar, killing them along the way.
12. Then Samuel took a stone, set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and said, “The Lord has helped us all the way” — and he named it “Stone of Help”.
13. So the Philistines were defeated, and the Lord prevented them from invading Israel's territory as long as Samuel lived.
14. All the cities which the Philistines had captured between Ekron and Gath were returned to Israel, and so Israel got back all its territory. And there was peace also between the Israelites and the Canaanites.
