people of Israel. At that time Israel was at

was camped near Ebenezer, and the
Philistines were at Aphek. 2 The Philistines
attacked and defeated the army of Israel,
killing 4,000 men...

defeated by the Philistines?” Then they said,
“Let’s bring the Ark of the Covenant of the
LORD from Shiloh. If we carry it into battle
with us, it will save us from our enemies.”…

to face anything like this before!8 Help! Who
can save us from these mighty gods of
Israel?...

ours! Stand up like men and fight!” …
