1 Samuel 7:7-9
New English Translation

7 When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, the leaders of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the Israelites heard about this, they were afraid of the Philistines. 8 The Israelites said to Samuel, “Keep[a] crying out to the Lord our[b] God so that he may save us[c] from the hand of the Philistines!” 9 So Samuel took a nursing lamb[d] and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. Samuel cried out to the Lord on Israel’s behalf, and the Lord answered him.
