¹ Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.

¹² 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.

¹ Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.

¹ Now the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, took it with them from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.

¹⁸ The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one;

⁵³ And Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah;

³⁰ And Ummah and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two towns with their unwalled places.

¹¹ And the Lord said to Samuel, See, I will do a thing in Israel at which the ears of everyone hearing of it will be burning.

³⁰ But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.
