1 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 1 Samuel 7:3 Returning here means repenting, that is, a change of direction back to the Lord. Samuel gives three commands: (1) turn away from idolatry; (2) direct the heart to the LORD; and (3) serve him alone (see Deuteronomy 6:4; Joshua 24:14; Judges 10:6). Foreign gods and the Ashtaroth refers to all idols. The Baals and the Ashtaroth has the same meaning.
