1 Samuel 7:10-12

10 Enquanto Samuel oferecia o holocausto, os filisteus chegaram para pelejar contra Israel; mas o Senhor trovejou naquele dia com grande estrondo sobre os filisteus, e os aterrou; de modo que foram derrotados diante dos filhos de Israel.

11 Os homens de Israel, saindo de Mizpá, perseguiram os filisteus e os feriram até abaixo de Bete-Car.

12 Então Samuel tomou uma pedra, e a pôs entre Mizpá e Sem, e lhe chamou Ebenézer; e disse: Até aqui nos ajudou o Senhor.
