Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Samuel 7:12

"Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us." — 1 Samuel 7:12 (ASV)

Between Mizpeh and Shen. —The situation of Ha-Shen, “The Tooth,” has not yet been identified. It probably denotes a peak or crag, a prominent rock formation, so named, like the modern French dent —a favourite name for a peak in some districts of the Alps and Pyrenees: e.g., Dent du Midi.
