1Sa 7:10 | KD | STEP | When the Philistines advanced during the offering of the sacrifice to fight against Israel, “ Jehovah thundered with a great noise ,” i.e., with loud peals, against the Philistines, and threw them into confusion, so that they were smitten before Israel. The thunder, which alarmed the Philistines and threw them into confusion (יהמּם, as in ), was the answer of God to Samuel’s crying to the Lord.

‏ 1 Samuel 7:10

When the Philistines advanced during the offering of the sacrifice to fight against Israel, “Jehovah thundered with a great noise,” i.e., with loud peals, against the Philistines, and threw them into confusion, so that they were smitten before Israel. The thunder, which alarmed the Philistines and threw them into confusion (יהמּם, as in Jos 10:10), was the answer of God to Samuel’s crying to the Lord.
