    1And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and camped beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped in Aphek.

    3And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies.

    5And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout so that the earth rang again.

    6And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean? And they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.
