14. The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath. And Israel rescued their territory out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
15. So Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
16. He went annually in a circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah. And he judged Israel in all those places.
17. But his return was to Ramah, for his house was there and there he judged Israel. And there he built an altar to the Lord.
