1 E Samuel falou a todo Israel. Por aquele tempo saiu Israel a encontrar em batalha aos filisteus, e assentou campo junto a Ebenézer, e os filisteus assentaram o seu em Afeque.

2 E os filisteus apresentaram a batalha a Israel; e travando-se o combate, Israel foi vencido diante dos filisteus, os quais feriram na batalha pelo campo como quatro mil homens.

3 E voltado que houve o povo ao acampamento, os anciãos de Israel disseram: Por que nos feriu hoje o SENHOR diante dos filisteus? Tragamos a nós de Siló a arca do pacto do SENHOR, para que vindo entre nós nos salve da mão de nossos inimigos.
