About This Place

A place mentioned in 1 Samuel 7:12 as a reference point for where Samuel placed the Ebenezer stone: 'between Mizpah and Shen.' The name means 'tooth' or 'crag,' possibly referring to a prominent rocky outcrop. Its exact location is unknown, but it was somewhere in the region between Mizpah and the Philistine territory.

The Day Everything Turned Around

Shen serves as the other geographic anchor for the Ebenezer stone — together with Mizpah, it pins the memorial marker between two known locations so the story can be retold precisely.
