사무엘상 7:4 KRV

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 7:2-17

1 Samuel 7:2-Esther : . Samuel as Judge.— Philistines subdued by Divine intervention; probably an ideal picture, by the Deuteronomic writer, of the happy results of Israel’ s repentance and Samuel’ s piety— peace, victory, and orthodoxy.
