| 11 | The men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, until they came under Beth-car. |
| 12 | Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto has Yahweh helped us. | Gn 28:18 Gn 28:19 Gn 31:45-52 Gn 35:14 Jsh 4:9 Jsh 4:20-24 Jsh 24:26 Jsh 24:27 Isa 19:19 |
