1 Samuel7:16
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel , and Gilgal , and Mizpeh , and judged Israel in all those places .
Either a place known by that name: or the house of God; to wit, Kiriath-jearim, where the Ark was.
In the Eastern Border.
Towards the West.
He went to those several places, partly in compliance with the people, whose convenience and benefit he was willing to purchase with his own trouble, making himself an itinerant Judge and Preacher for their sakes; and partly, that by his presence in several parts, he might the better observe, and rectifie all sorts of miscarriages against God or Men.
