13 So the Philistines (immigrants) were subdued, and they stopped invading the territory of Israel (he wrestles with God). And the hand of the LORD {YHWH} was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel (his name is El). 14 The cities from Ekron (torn up by the roots) to Gath (winepress), which the Philistines (immigrants) had taken (he wrestles with God), were restored to Israel, who also delivered the surrounding territory from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between the Israelites and the Amorites (sayers). 15 So Samuel (his name is El) judged Israel (he wrestles with God) all the days of his life. 16 Every year he would go on a circuit from Bethel (house of God) to Gilgal (a wheel) to Mizpah (watchtower), judging Israel (he wrestles with God) in all these places. 17 Then he would return to Ramah (hill) because his home was there, and there he judged Israel (he wrestles with God) and built an altar to the LORD {YHWH}. 1 Samuel 7:13-17, Berean Annotated Bible.
