Bible Chronology (21): From the Exodus to the Temple (4)

After Eli's 40 years, Israel entered her 7th Servitude of 20 years (to the Philistines), the time of Samuel, the Prophet (Acts 13:20). Israel's repentance released God to raise up Samuel as their Judge (1Sam 7), who called them to Mizpeh for a national repentance, resulting in a great victory over the Philistines. Samuel then judged Israel until Saul's reign.
