¹⁷ Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;

¹ Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.

⁵ Then Samuel said, Let all Israel come to Mizpah and I will make prayer to the Lord for you.

⁶ So they came together to Mizpah, and got water, draining it out before the Lord, and they took no food that day, and they said, We have done evil against the Lord. And Samuel was judge of the children of Israel in Mizpah.
