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 Cuando los israelitas se reunieron en Mizpa, sacaron agua y la derramaron ante el SE脩OR. Tambi茅n ayunaron durante el d铆a, y p煤blicamente confesaron: 芦Hemos pecado contra el SE脩OR禄. Fue en Mizpa donde Samuel comenz贸 a gobernar a los israelitas.
7 Cuando los filisteos se enteraron de que los israelitas se hab铆an reunido en Mizpa, los jefes filisteos marcharon contra Israel. Al darse cuenta de esto, los israelitas tuvieron miedo de los filisteos
8 y le dijeron a Samuel: 芦No dejes de clamar al SE脩OR por nosotros, para que nos salve del poder de los filisteos禄.
9 Samuel tom贸 entonces un cordero peque帽o y lo ofreci贸 en holocausto al SE脩OR. Luego clam贸 al SE脩OR en favor de Israel, y el SE脩OR le respondi贸.
10 Mientras Samuel ofrec铆a el sacrificio, los filisteos avanzaron para atacar a Israel. Pero aquel d铆a el SE脩OR lanz贸 grandes truenos contra los filisteos. Esto cre贸 confusi贸n entre ellos, y cayeron derrotados ante los israelitas.
