1 Samuel 7:2-5

²It happened, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh.

³Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do return to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. ⁴Then the children of Israel did put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only.

⁵Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to Yahweh.
