Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Eben-ha-Ezer, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Eben-ha-Ezer is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific location significant in Israel's history. It is mentioned in the context of battles between the Israelites and the Philistines.

Context: Eben-ha-Ezer is a notable site in the biblical narrative, primarily mentioned in the books of 1 Samuel. It is the location where the Israelites encamped before a battle with the Philistines, as recorded in 1 Samuel 4:1. The Israelites suffered a significant defeat at this site, leading to the capture of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines. Later, in 1 Samuel 7:12, after a victorious battle against the Philistines, the prophet Samuel set up a stone between Mizpah and Shen and named it Eben-ha-Ezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us." This act commemorated the divine assistance received by Israel and served as a reminder of God's faithfulness and deliverance.
