1 Samuel 7:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ So the Philistines were ·defeated [subdued; humbled] and did not enter the Israelites’ ·land [borders] again.

The [^Lhand of the] Lord was against the Philistines all Samuel’s life. ¹⁴ Earlier the Philistines had taken towns from the Israelites, but ·the Israelites won them back [they were restored to Israel], from Ekron [5:10] to Gath [5:8]. They also took back from the [^Lhand of the] Philistines the ·lands [territory] near these towns. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.

¹⁵ Samuel ·continued as judge of [judged] Israel all [^Lthe days of] his life.
