1 Samuel 7:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 7:8

And the children of Israel said to Samuel
To whom they applied, not as the general of their forces, but as the prophet of the Lord; believing his prayers for them would be of more avail to them than an army of men ever so numerous, or so well accoutred:

cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us:
he had been praying for them that day, and they desired he would continue praying for them, well knowing that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much; they knew their salvation was of the Lord, and that he only could save them, and that he must be sought unto for it; and as Samuel had an interest in him, they beg he would continue to make use of it on their behalf; in which they expressed their trust in God, their regard to means, the duty of prayer, and the high esteem they had of the prophet of the Lord, whom they entreat to pray for them:

that he will save us out of the hands of the Philistines;
who were now coming up against them, and who had for a long time tyrannised over them.

1 Samuel 7:8 In-Context

6 De manera que se reunieron en Mizpa y, en una gran ceremonia, sacaron agua de un pozo y la derramaron delante del Se帽or
. Asimismo no comieron durante todo el d铆a y confesaron que hab铆an pecado contra el Se帽or
. (Fue en Mizpa donde Samuel se convirti贸 en juez de Israel).
7 Cuando los gobernantes filisteos se enteraron de que Israel se hab铆a reunido en Mizpa, movilizaron a su ej茅rcito y avanzaron. El miedo invadi贸 a los israelitas cuando supieron que los filisteos se acercaban.
8 芦隆No dejes de rogarle al Se帽or
nuestro Dios que nos salve de los filisteos!禄, le suplicaron a Samuel.
9 Entonces Samuel tom贸 un cordero y lo ofreci贸 al Se帽or
como ofrenda quemada entera. Rog贸 al Se帽or
que ayudara a Israel, y el Se帽or
le contest贸.
10 Entonces, justo en el momento en que Samuel sacrificaba la ofrenda quemada, llegaron los filisteos para atacar a Israel. Pero ese d铆a el Se帽or
habl贸 con una poderosa voz de trueno desde el cielo y caus贸 tal confusi贸n entre los filisteos, que los israelitas los derrotaron.
