Of the Divine Help

KJV

Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.

ESV

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the LORD has helped us.”

1 Samuel 7:12

Here I raise my Ebenezer,

Hither, by thy help, I'm come:

And I hope, by thy good pleasure,

Safely to arrive at home.
