Chapter 7

7:1 [hgb]  基 列 耶 琳 人 就 下 来 ， 将 耶 和 华 的 约 柜 接 上 去 ， 放 在 山 上 亚 比 拿 达 的 家 中 ， 分 派 他 儿 子 以 利 亚 撒 看 守 耶 和 华 的 约 柜 。 
    [kjv]  And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
    [bbe]  So the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah, and they made his son Eleazar holy and put the ark in his care.
7:2 [hgb]  约 柜 在 基 列 耶 琳 许 久 。 过 了 二 十 年 ， 以 色 列 全 家 都 倾 向 耶 和 华 。 
    [kjv]  And it came to pass, while the ark abode¹ in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented² after the LORD.
    [bbe]  And the ark was in Kiriath-jearim for a long time, as much as twenty years: and all Israel was searching after the Lord with weeping.
7:3 [hgb]  撒 母 耳 对 以 色 列 全 家 说 ， 你 们 若 一 心 归 顺 耶 和 华 ， 就 要 把 外 邦 的 神 和 亚 斯 他 录 从 你 们 中 间 除 掉 ， 专 心 归 向 耶 和 华 ， 单 单 地 事 奉 他 。 他 必 救 你 们 脱 离 非 利 士 人 的 手 。 
    [kjv]  And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines³.
    [bbe]  Then Samuel said to all Israel, If with all your hearts you would come back to the Lord, then put away all the strange gods and the Astartes from among you, and let your hearts be turned to the Lord, and be servants to him only: and he will make you safe from the hands of the Philistines.
7:4 [hgb]  以 色 列 人 就 除 掉 诸 巴 力 和 亚 斯 他 录 ， 单 单 地 事 奉 耶 和 华 。 
    [kjv]  Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
    [bbe]  So the children of Israel gave up the worship of Baal and Astarte, and became worshippers of the Lord only.

    [kjv]  And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
    [bbe]  Then Samuel said, Let all Israel come to Mizpah and I will make prayer to the Lord for you.
7:6 [hgb]  他 们 就 聚 集 在 米 斯 巴 ， 打 水 浇 在 耶 和 华 面 前 ， 当 日 禁 食 ， 说 ， 我 们 得 罪 了 耶 和 华 。 于 是 撒 母 耳 在 米 斯 巴 审 判 以 色 列 人 。

    [kjv]  And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
    [bbe]  Now when the Philistines had news that the children of Israel had come together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And the children of Israel, hearing of it, were full of fear.
7:8 [hgb]  以 色 列 人 对 撒 母 耳 说 ， 愿 你 不 住 地 为 我 们 呼 求 耶 和 华 我 们 的 神 ， 救 我 们 脱 离 非 利 士 人 的 手 。

    [bbe]  And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Go on crying to the Lord our God for us to make us safe from the hands of the Philistines.
7:9 [hgb]  撒 母 耳 就 把 一 只 吃 奶 的 羊 羔 献 与 耶 和 华 作 全 牲 的 燔 祭 ， 为 以 色 列 人 呼 求 耶 和 华 。 耶 和 华 就 应 允 他 。 
    [kjv]  And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
    [bbe]  And Samuel took a young lamb, offering all of it as a burned offering to the Lord; and Samuel made prayers to the Lord for Israel and the Lord gave him an answer.
7:10 [hgb]  撒 母 耳 正 献 燔 祭 的 时 候 ， 非 利 士 人 前 来 要 与 以 色 列 人 争 战 。 当 日 ， 耶 和 华 大 发 雷 声 ， 惊 乱 非 利 士 人 ， 他 们 就 败 在 以 色 列 人 面 前 。 
    [kjv]  And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited⁴ them; and they were smitten⁵ before Israel.

7:11 [hgb]  以 色 列 人 从 米 斯 巴 出 来 ， 追 赶 非 利 士 人 ， 击 杀 他 们 ， 直 到 伯 甲 的 下 边 。

7:12 [hgb]  撒 母 耳 将 一 块 石 头 立 在 米 斯 巴 和 善 的 中 间 ， 给 石 头 起 名 叫 以 便 以 谢 ， 说 ， 到 如 今 耶 和 华 都 帮 助 我 们 。 
    [kjv]  Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
    [bbe]  Then Samuel took a stone and put it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, naming it Eben-ezer, and saying, Up to now the Lord has been our help.
7:13 [hgb]  从 此 ， 非 利 士 人 就 被 制 伏 ， 不 敢 再 入 以 色 列 人 的 境 内 。 撒 母 耳 作 士 师 的 时 候 ， 耶 和 华 的 手 攻 击 非 利 士 人 。

    [bbe]  From year to year he went in turn to Beth-el and Gilgal and Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places.
7:17 [hgb]  随 后 回 到 拉 玛 ， 因 为 他 的 家 在 那 里 。 也 在 那 里 审 判 以 色 列 人 ， 且 为 耶 和 华 筑 了 一 座 坛 。 
    [kjv]  And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
