1 Samuel 7:12
_ _ Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen — on an open spot between the town and “the crag” (some well-known rock in the neighborhood). A huge stone pillar was erected as a monument of their victory (Leviticus 26:1). The name — Eben-ezer — is thought to have been written on the face of it. |
1 Samuel 7:12
A stone — A rude unpolished stone, which was not prohibited by that law, Leviticus 26:1, there being no danger of worshipping such a stone, and this being set up only as a monument of the victory. Eben — ezer — That is, the stone of help. And this victory was gained in the very same place where the Israelites received their former fatal loss. Helped us — He hath begun to help us, though not compleatly to deliver us. By which wary expression, he exciteth both their thankfulness for their mercy received, and their holy fear and care to please and serve the Lord, that he might help and deliver them effectually. |

Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and (g) Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
