Ben Sira 46:18 In-Context

16 He called upon the Lord, the Mighty One, when his enemies pressed him on every side, and he offered in sacrifice a suckling lamb.

17 Then the Lord thundered from heaven, and made his voice heard with a mighty sound;

18 he subdued the leaders of the enemy and all the rulers of the Philistines.

19 Before the time of his eternal sleep, Samuel bore witness before the Lord and his anointed: "No property, not so much as a pair of shoes, have I taken from anyone!" And no one accused him.

20 Even after he had fallen asleep, he prophesied and made known to the king his death, and lifted up his voice from the ground in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.
