1 Samuel 7:12 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

1 Samuel 7:12

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