1 Samuel 7:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷ Now when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the governors of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard about it, ^(A)they were afraid of the Philistines. ⁸ So the sons of Israel said to Samuel, “^(B)Do not stop crying out to the Lord our God for us, that He will save us from the hand of the Philistines!” ⁹ Samuel took ^(C)a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord; and Samuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and ^(D)the Lord answered him.
