13. Formal Translation The Philistines were subdued, and they did not again come into the territory of Israel. The hand of the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Defender} was against the Philistines throughout all the days of Samuel. |
13. Dynamic Translation The Philistines were brought low, and they stopped invading Israel’s territory. The LORD {Yahweh, Protector} stood against them for as long as Samuel lived. |
