1 Samuel 7:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 7:5

And Samuel said, gather all Israel to Mizpeh
Not Mizpeh in Gilead, on the other side Jordan, but a city which lay on the borders of Judah and Benjamin, where the tribes met on the account of the Levite's concubine, ( Judges 20:1 ) . This order Samuel gave by messengers sent to the several tribes, or the heads of them, to meet him at this place:

and I will pray for you unto the Lord;
no doubt he prayed for them privately, that the reformation begun might be carried on, and appear to be sincere, and hearty, and general, and universal; but he was desirous that they might appear in a body, and join with him in public prayer for their spiritual and temporal welfare; that they might have true repentance for their sins, reform from them, and have remission of them, and be delivered out of the hands of their enemies.

1 Samuel 7:5 In-Context

3 E Samuel disse a toda a nação de Israel: “Se vocês querem voltar-se para o SENHOR de todo o coração, livrem-se então dos deuses estrangeiros e das imagens de Astarote, consagrem-se ao SENHOR e prestem culto somente a ele, e ele os libertará das mãos dos filisteus”.
4 Assim, os israelitas se livraram dos baalins e dos postes sagrados e começaram a prestar culto somente ao SENHOR.
5 E Samuel prosseguiu: “Reúnam todo o Israel em Mispá, e eu intercederei ao SENHOR a favor de vocês”.
6 Quando eles se reuniram em Mispá, tiraram água e a derramaram perante o SENHOR. Naquele dia jejuaram e ali disseram: “Temos pecado contra o SENHOR”. E foi em Mispá que Samuel liderou os israelitas como juiz.
7 Quando os filisteus souberam que os israelitas estavam reunidos em Mispá, os governantes dos filisteus saíram para atacá-los. Quando os israelitas souberam disso, ficaram com medo.
