Verse 11 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Samuel. When the Philistines attack, Samuel intercedes and offers a sacrifice. The Lord intervenes through a great thunderclap that confuses the enemy, and the Israelites recover lost territory. The stone called Ebenezer commemorates divine help: Thus far the Lord has helped us. The account directly contrasts this victory with the earlier defeat, showing that the difference is not using the ark as a talisman, but repenting, seeking God, and depending on his intervention.
