¹² Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto has Yahweh helped us.

¹ Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.

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

⁵³ and Janim, and Beth Tappuah, and Aphekah,

³⁰ Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages.

¹¹ Yahweh said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

³⁰ But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
