Ebenezer

Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come.
And I hope by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

"While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Phillistines drew near to engage Isreal in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with a loud thunder against the Phillistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Isrealites. The men of Isreal rushed out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, slaughtering them along the way to a point below Bath Car.

Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying "Thus far has the Lord helped us." 1 Samuel 7:10-12
