1 SAMUEL 7:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben–ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.”
Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, and called the name of it Ebenezer; for he said: Thus far the LORD has helped us—*Eben ha-ezer* (stone of help) commemorates divine intervention. The *luh* (stone) becomes a *ot* (sign) of covenant fidelity. Samuel's *ad-poh azaranu YHWH* (thus far the LORD has helped us) is a *todah* (thanksgiving), acknowledging that all aid comes from the LORD, not from human valor.
