- 基列耶琳人就下来,将耶和华的约柜接上去,放在山上亚比拿达的家中,分派他儿子以利亚撒看守耶和华的约柜。
- 约柜在基列耶琳许久。过了二十年,以色列全家都倾向耶和华。
- 撒母耳对以色列全家说,你们若一心归顺耶和华,就要把外邦的神和亚斯她录从你们中间除掉,专心归向耶和华,单单地事奉他。他必救你们脱离非利士人的手。
- 以色列人就除掉诸巴力和亚斯她录,单单地事奉耶和华。
- 撒母耳说,要使以色列众人聚集在米斯巴,我好为你们祷告耶和华。

- And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
- And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
- And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
- Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
- And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
