1 Samuel 7:15-17

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

16 He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.

17 But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
