1 Samuel7:12
12 Then Samuel took a stone , and set it between Mizpeh, and Shen, and called the name thereof Eben-ezer , saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us .
A rude unpolished Stone, which was not prohibited by that Law, Levit. 26. 1. there being no danger of Worshipping such a Stone, and this being set up onely as a Monument of the Victory.
By which, compared with Chap. 4. 1. it appears, that this Victory was gained in, or [illegible: 1+ letters]ear the very same place where the Israelites received their former fatal loss.
He hath begun to help us in some measure, though not compleatly to deliver us. By which wary expression, he exciteth both their thankfulness for their mercy received, and their holy fear and care to please and serve the Lord, that he might proceed to help and deliver them more effectually.
