1 Samuel, 7

1. The men of Kiriath-Jearim came and, taking up the ark of Yahweh, brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated his son Eleazar to guard the ark of Yahweh.

1. And the men of Kir'iath-je'arim came and took up the ark of the LORD, and brought it to the house of Abin'adab on the hill; and they consecrated his son, Elea'zar, to have charge of the ark of the LORD.

2. From the day when the ark was installed at Kiriath-Jearim, a long time went by -- twenty years -- and the whole House of Israel longed for Yahweh.

2. From the day that the ark was lodged at Kir'iath-je'arim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

3. Samuel then spoke as follows to the whole House of Israel, 'If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, banish the foreign gods and Astartes which you now have, and set your heart on Yahweh and serve him alone; and he will deliver you from the power of the Philistines.'

3. Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, "If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ash'taroth from among you, and direct your heart to the LORD, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."

4. And the Israelites banished the Baals and Astartes and served Yahweh alone.

4. So Israel put away the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth, and they served the LORD only.

5. Samuel then said, 'Muster all Israel at Mizpah and I shall plead with Yahweh for you.'

5. Then Samuel said, "Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you."

6. So they mustered at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before Yahweh. They fasted that day and declared, 'We have sinned against Yahweh.' And Samuel was judge over the Israelites at Mizpah.

6. So they gathered at Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.

7. When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had mustered at Mizpah, the Philistine chiefs marched on Israel; and when the Israelites heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.

7. Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it they were afraid of the Philistines.

8. They said to Samuel, 'Do not stop calling on Yahweh our God to rescue us from the power of the Philistines.'

8. And the people of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

9. Samuel took a sucking lamb and presented it as a burnt offering to Yahweh, and he called on Yahweh on behalf of Israel and Yahweh heard him.

9. So Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD; and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

10. While Samuel was in the act of presenting burnt offering, the Philistines joined battle with Israel, but that day Yahweh thundered violently over the Philistines, threw them into panic and Israel defeated them.

10. As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel; but the LORD thundered with a mighty voice that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion; and they were routed before Israel.

11. The men of Israel sallied out from Mizpah in pursuit of the Philistines and beat them all the way to below Beth-Car.

11. And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, as far as below Beth-car.

12. Samuel then took a stone and erected it between Mizpah and the Tooth, and gave it the name Ebenezer, saying, 'Yahweh helped us as far as this.'

12. Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jesha'nah, and called its name Ebene'zer; for he said, "Hitherto the LORD has helped us."

13. So the Philistines were humbled and no longer came into Israelite territory; Yahweh oppressed the Philistines throughout the life of Samuel.

13. So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14. The towns which the Philistines had taken from Israel were given back to Israel, from Ekron all the way to Gath, and Israel freed their territory from the power of the Philistines. There was peace, too, between Israel and the Amorites.

14. The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel rescued their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.

15. Samuel was judge over Israel throughout his life.

15. Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16. Each year he went on circuit through Bethel and Gilgal and Mizpah and judged Israel in all these places.

16. And he went on a circuit year by year to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all these places.

17. He would then return to Ramah, since his home was there; there too he judged Israel. And there he built an altar to Yahweh.

17. Then he would come back to Ramah, for his home was there, and there also he administered justice to Israel. And he built there an altar to the LORD.

Fusnote:

7:1-2 - Kovčeg se odnosi u Abinadabovu kuću, gdje ostaje mnogo godina. Ovo razdoblje odražava vrijeme čekanja i pokajanja za Izrael, pripremajući narod za povratak vjernosti Bogu (vidi također 2. Samuelova 6:3-4 i Izaija 30:18).

7:3-4 - Samuel poziva Izrael na pokajanje, tražeći od njih da uklone svoje strane bogove i služe samo Gospodinu. Ovaj poziv na duhovnu čistoću i vjernost središnji je za Izraelov odnos s Bogom (vidi također Jošua 24:14-15 i Ponovljeni zakon 6:13-14).

7:5-6 - Narod se okuplja u Mispi da ispovjedi svoje grijehe i potraži Gospodina. Javno ispovijedanje grijeha i post su djela poniznosti pred Bogom, koja pokazuju prepoznavanje potrebe za oprostom (vidi također Psalam 32:5 i Jakovljevu 5:16).

7:7-11 - Bog daruje Izraelu pobjedu nad Filistejcima kao odgovor na Samuelovo posredovanje, pojačavajući važnost molitve i ovisnosti o Bogu u trijumfu nad neprijateljima (vidi također 2. Ljetopisa 20:15 i Jakovljevu 5:17-18).

7:12-14 - Samuel postavlja kamen, naziva ga Ebenezer, što znači "Do sada nam je Gospodin pomogao." Ovaj čin obilježava Božju vjernost u zaštiti i održavanju Njegovog naroda, služeći kao stalni podsjetnik na Njegovu prisutnost (vidi također Psalam 121:1-2 i Postanak 28:18-19).

Stihovi vezani uz 1 Samuel, 7:

Prva Samuelova glava 7 označava razdoblje duhovne obnove u Izraelu. Kako Samuel vodi narod natrag Bogu? Ovaj nadahnuti tekst govori o nacionalnom pokajanju, Samuelovu posredovanju i pobjedi nad Filistejcima kod Ebenezera. Poglavlje istražuje teme kao što su pravo pokajanje, snaga molitve i važnost duhovnog vodstva. 1. Samuelova 7 pokazuje kako Bog reagira kada mu se njegov narod obrati svim srcem. Razmotrite s nama pet biblijskih odlomaka koji odražavaju trajna načela ovog transformativnog poglavlja.

Jošua 24:23: "Sada se dakle odvratite od stranih bogova koji su među vama i obratite se Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu." - Ovaj stih odjekuje Samuelovim pozivom na pokajanje u 1. Samuelovoj 7, naglašavajući odbacivanje idola.

Suci 2:16: "Tada im je Gospodin podigao suce koji su ih oslobodili iz ruku onih koji su ih pljačkali." - Ovaj odlomak odražava Samuelovu ulogu suca u 1. Samuelovoj 7, nastavljajući tradiciju izraelskih sudaca.

Psalmi 99:6: "Mojsije i Aron bili su među njegovim svećenicima, Samuel je bio među onima koji su zazivali njegovo ime; Zavapili su Gospodinu, a on ih je uslišio." - Ovaj psalam naglašava Samuelovu ulogu posrednika, kao što se vidi u 1. Samuelovoj 7.

Jeremija 15:1: "Tada mi je Gospodin rekao: 'Kad bi Mojsije i Samuel stali preda mnom, moje se srce ne bi okrenulo prema ovim ljudima. Otjeraj ih od mene! Pusti ih!'" - Ovaj kasniji odlomak naglašava Samuelovu važnost kao posrednika, ulogu koju igra u 1. Samuelovoj 7.

Djela apostolska 3:24: "Zapravo, svi su proroci, od Samuela naovamo, jedan po jedan, govorili i predviđali ove dane." - Ovaj novozavjetni stih prepoznaje Samuela kao početak nove proročke ere, odražavajući njegovu ulogu u 1. Samuelovoj 7.
