Israel Repents and Gathers at Mizpeh

1 Samuel 7:3-6

Sh'mu'el addressed all the people of Isra'el; he said: "If you are returning to ADONAI with all your heart, then be done with the foreign gods and 'ashtarot that you have with you, and direct your hearts to ADONAI. If you will serve only him, he will rescue you from the power of the P'lishtim."

So the people of Isra'el banished the ba'alim and the 'ashtarot and served only ADONAI.

Sh'mu'el said, "Gather all Isra'el to Mitzpah, and I will pray for you to ADONAI."

So they gathered together at Mitzpah, drew water and poured it out before ADONAI, fasted that day, and said there, "We have sinned against ADONAI." Sh'mu'el began serving as judge over the people of Isra'el at Mitzpah.
