The Holy Bible - Samuel - A Dedicated Man

During Samuel's youth at Shiloh the Philistines inflicted a decisive defeat against the Israelites at Eben-Ezer, placed the land under Philistine oppression, and took the sanctuary's Ark for themselves. This was decades before the Israelites began to be ruled by a king. After 20 years of such oppression, Samuel, who had gained national prominence as a prophet, summoned the people to Mizpah (one of the highest hills in the land), where he organized them into an army, and led them against the Philistines. The Philistines, having marched to Mizpah to attack the newly amassed Israelite army, were soundly defeated and fled in terror. The retreating Philistines were slaughtered by the Israelites, which the Bible portrays positively. Then Samuel erected a large stone at the battle site as a memorial, and there ensued a long period of peace thereafter.
