And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that [Eli] fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate. And his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty year

And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against LORD. And Samuel judged the sons of Israel in Mizpah.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah. And he judged Israel in all those places.

And his return was to Ramah, for his house was there. And there he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to LORD.
