The Philistines lined up in battle formation against Israel, and as the battle intensified, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who struck down about four thousand men on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the troops returned to the camp, the elders of Israel asked, \u201cWhy did the Lord defeat us today before the Philistines? Let\u2019s bring the ark of the Lord\u2019s covenant from Shiloh. Then it will go with us and save us from our enemies.\u201d So the people sent men to Shiloh to bring back the ark of the covenant of the Lord of Armies, who is enthroned between the cherubim. Eli\u2019s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. When the ark of the covenant of the Lord entered the camp, all the Israelites raised such a loud shout that the ground shook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Philistines heard the sound of the war cry and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s this loud shout in the Hebrews\u2019 camp?\u201d When the Philistines discovered that the ark of the Lord had entered the camp, they panicked. \u201cA god has entered their camp!\u201d they said. \u201cWoe to us! Nothing like this has happened before. Woe to us! Who will rescue us from these magnificent gods? These are the gods that slaughtered the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness. Show some courage and be men, Philistines! Otherwise, you\u2019ll serve the Hebrews just as they served you. Now be men and fight!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hophni and Phinehas Die<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. The slaughter was severe \u2014 thirty thousand of the Israelite foot soldiers fell. The ark of God was captured, and Eli\u2019s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That same day, a Benjaminite man ran from the battle and came to Shiloh. His clothes were torn, and there was dirt on his head. When he arrived, there was Eli sitting on his chair beside the road waiting, because he was anxious about the ark of God. When the man entered the city to give a report, the entire city cried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eli\u2019s Death and Ichabod\u2019s Birth<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Eli heard the outcry and asked, \u201cWhy this commotion?\u201d The man quickly came and reported to Eli. At that time Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes didn\u2019t move because he couldn\u2019t see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The man said to Eli, \u201cI\u2019m the one who came from the battle. I fled from there today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat happened, my son?\u201d Eli asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The messenger answered, \u201cIsrael has fled from the Philistines, and also there was a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are both dead, and the ark of God has been captured.\u201d When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell backward off the chair by the city gate, and since he was old and heavy, his neck broke and he died. Eli had judged Israel forty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eli\u2019s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news about the capture of God\u2019s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth because her labor pains came on her. As she was dying, the women taking care of her said, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. You\u2019ve given birth to a son!\u201d But she did not respond or pay attention. She named the boy Ichabod, saying, \u201cThe glory has departed from Israel,\u201d referring to the capture of the ark of God and to the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband. \u201cThe glory has departed from Israel,\u201d she said, \u201cbecause the ark of God has been captured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 Samuel Chapter 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Ark in Philistine Hands<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod, brought it into the temple of Dagon and placed it next to his statue. When the people of Ashdod got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and returned him to his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when they got up early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen with his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. This time, Dagon\u2019s head and both of his hands were broken off and lying on the threshold. Only Dagon\u2019s torso remained. That is why, still today, the priests of Dagon and everyone who enters the temple of Dagon in Ashdod do not step on Dagon\u2019s threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lord\u2019s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod. He terrified the people of Ashdod and its territory and afflicted them with tumors. When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, \u201cThe ark of Israel\u2019s God must not stay here with us, because his hand is strongly against us and our god Dagon.\u201d So they called all the Philistine rulers together and asked, \u201cWhat should we do with the ark of Israel\u2019s God?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Send it Away!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ark of Israel\u2019s God should be moved to Gath,\u201d they replied. So they moved the ark of Israel\u2019s God. After they had moved it, the Lord\u2019s hand was against the city of Gath, causing a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, from the youngest to the oldest, with an outbreak of tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people of Gath then sent the ark of God to Ekron, but when it got there, the Ekronites cried out, \u201cThey\u2019ve moved the ark of Israel\u2019s God to us to kill us and our people!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ekronites called all the Philistine rulers together. They said, \u201cSend the ark of Israel\u2019s God away. Let it return to its place so it won\u2019t kill us and our people!\u201d For the fear of death pervaded the city; God\u2019s hand was oppressing them. Those who did not die were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 Samuel Chapter 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Return of the Ark<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When the ark of the Lord had been in Philistine territory for seven months, the Philistines summoned the priests and the diviners and pleaded, \u201cWhat should we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us how we can send it back to its place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Send an Offering<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>They replied, \u201cIf you send the ark of Israel\u2019s God away, do not send it without an offering. Send back a guilt offering to him, and you will be healed. Then the reason his hand hasn\u2019t been removed from you will be revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They asked, \u201cWhat guilt offering should we send back to him?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they answered, \u201cFive gold tumors and five gold mice corresponding to the number of Philistine rulers, since there was one plague for both you and your rulers. Make images of your tumors and of your mice that are destroying the land. Give glory to Israel\u2019s God, and perhaps he will stop oppressing you, your gods, and your land. Why harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened theirs? When he afflicted them, didn\u2019t they send Israel away, and Israel left?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow then, prepare one new cart and two milk cows that have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up. Take the ark of the Lord, place it on the cart, and put the gold objects that you\u2019re sending him as a guilt offering in a box beside the ark. Send it off and let it go its way. Then watch: If it goes up the road to its homeland toward Beth-shemesh, it is the Lord who has made this terrible trouble for us. However, if it doesn\u2019t, we will know that it was not his hand that punished us \u2014 it was just something that happened to us by chance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overjoyed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The men did this: They took two milk cows, hitched them to the cart, and confined their calves in the pen. Then they put the ark of the Lord on the cart, along with the box containing the gold mice and the images of their tumors. The cows went straight up the road to Beth-shemesh. They stayed on that one highway, lowing as they went; they never strayed to the right or to the left. The Philistine rulers were walking behind them to the territory of Beth-shemesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people of Beth-shemesh were harvesting wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they were overjoyed to see it. The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh and stopped there near a large rock. The people of the city chopped up the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord. The Levites removed the ark of the Lord, along with the box containing the gold objects, and placed them on the large rock. That day the people of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord. When the five Philistine rulers observed this, they returned to Ekron that same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a guilt offering to the Lord, the Philistines had sent back one gold tumor for each city: Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. The number of gold mice also corresponded to the number of Philistine cities of the five rulers, the fortified cities and the outlying villages. The large rock on which the ark of the Lord was placed is still in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consequence of Disobedience<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>God struck down the people of Beth-shemesh because they looked inside the ark of the Lord. He struck down seventy persons. The people mourned because the Lord struck them with a great slaughter. The people of Beth-shemesh asked, \u201cWho is able to stand in the presence of the Lord this holy God? To whom should the ark go from here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They sent messengers to the residents of Kiriath-jearim, saying, \u201cThe Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Come down and get it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 Samuel Chapter 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So the people of Kiriath-jearim came for the ark of the Lord and took it to Abinadab\u2019s house on the hill. They consecrated his son Eleazar to take care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Victory at Mizpah<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Time went by until twenty years had passed since the ark had been taken to Kiriath-jearim. Then the whole house of Israel longed for the Lord. Samuel told them, \u201cIf you are returning to the Lord with all your heart, get rid of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths that are among you, set your hearts on the Lord, and worship only him. Then he will rescue you from the Philistines.\u201d So the Israelites removed the Baals and the Ashtoreths and only worshiped the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samuel said, \u201cGather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord on your behalf.\u201d When they gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out in the Lord\u2019s presence. They fasted that day, and there they confessed, \u201cWe have sinned against the Lord.\u201d And Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, their rulers marched up toward Israel. When the Israelites heard about it, they were afraid because of the Philistines. The Israelites said to Samuel, \u201cDon\u2019t stop crying out to the Lord our God for us, so that he will save us from the Philistines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Samuel took a young lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. He cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord answered him. Samuel was offering the burnt offering as the Philistines approached to fight against Israel. The Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines that day and threw them into such confusion that they were defeated by Israel. Then the men of Israel charged out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines striking them down all the way to a place below Beth-car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Philistines Were Subdued<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it upright between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, explaining, \u201cThe Lord has helped us to this point.\u201d So the Philistines were subdued and did not invade Israel\u2019s territory again. The Lord\u2019s hand was against the Philistines all of Samuel\u2019s life. The cities from Ekron to Gath, which they had taken from Israel, were restored; Israel even rescued their surrounding territories from Philistine control. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samuel judged Israel throughout his life. Every year he would go on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah and would judge Israel at all these locations. Then he would return to Ramah because his home was there, he judged Israel there, and he built an altar to the Lord there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 Samuel Chapter 8<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Israel\u2019s Demand for a King<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel. His firstborn son\u2019s name was Joel and his second was Abijah. They were judges in Beer-sheba. However, his sons did not walk in his ways \u2014 they turned toward dishonest profit, took bribes, and perverted justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So all the elders of Israel gathered together and went to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, \u201cLook, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Therefore, appoint a king to judge us the same as all the other nations have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they said, \u201cGive us a king to judge us,\u201d Samuel considered their demand wrong, so he prayed to the Lord. But the Lord told him, \u201cListen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected me as their king. They are doing the same thing to you that they have done to me, since the day I brought them out of Egypt until this day, abandoning me and worshiping other gods. Listen to them, but solemnly warn them and tell them about the customary rights of the king who will reign over them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Samuel Warned Them<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Samuel told all the Lord\u2019s words to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, \u201cThese are the rights of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and put them to his use in his chariots, on his horses, or running in front of his chariots. He can appoint them for his use as commanders of thousands or commanders of fifties, to plow his ground and reap his harvest, or to make his weapons of war and the equipment for his chariots. He can take your daughters to become perfumers, cooks, and bakers. He can take your best fields, vineyards, and olive orchards and give them to his servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He can take a tenth of your grain and your vineyards and give them to his officials and servants. He can take your male servants, your female servants, your best cattle, and your donkeys and use them for his work. He can take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves can become his servants. When that day comes, you will cry out because of the king you\u2019ve chosen for yourselves, but the Lord won\u2019t answer you on that day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people refused to listen to Samuel. \u201cNo!\u201d they said. \u201cWe must have a king over us. Then we\u2019ll be like all the other nations: our king will judge us, go out before us, and fight our battles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samuel listened to all the people\u2019s words and then repeated them to the Lord. \u201cListen to them,\u201d the Lord told Samuel. \u201cAppoint a king for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Samuel told the men of Israel, \u201cEach of you, go back to your city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Close<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t help but be amused by the Dagon story.&nbsp; We would do well to remember that none of the things in this life that we choose to idolize can hold a candle to our infinite and almighty God.&nbsp; And speaking of that, why on earth would the Israelites want a king when they already had the best?&nbsp; Why, oh, why is it so hard for us to give God His due?&nbsp; Why are we so rebellious and prideful and so independent, unwilling to acknowledge that He is in all and through all? Why also is it so hard for us to bend the knee and humble ourselves before God?&nbsp; Please someone tell me at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/liftinghervoice.com\/contact\/\">Lifting Her Voice<\/a>.com,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Lifting-Her-Voice-106516874715441\">Facebook<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joy_blantonmiller\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiftingHerVoice\">Twitter<\/a>.<br><br>Thank you for joining me here today.&nbsp; I pray that by spending time in His Word every day, you will by changed.&nbsp; Visit me at Lifting Her Voice.com with your comments and questions.&nbsp; And don\u2019t forget to visit the Blog page while you\u2019re there.&nbsp; If you like the podcast, it would be great if you\u2019d give it a five-star review and share it with everyone you know.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.&nbsp; See you tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Christian Standard Bible(r), Copyright (c) 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.
