And they rose up in the morning early,.... Partly for devotion, and partly for the sake of their journey:and worshipped before the Lord; went up to the tabernacle, and prayed with their faces towards that part of it, the western part, where stood the ark of the Lord, the symbol of the divine Presence; and when they no doubt gave thanks for all the favours they had received there, and prayed for a safe and prosperous journey home, committing themselves to the care of divine Providence:and returned, and came to their house to Ramah; or "Ramatha", the same with Ramathaim, 1Sa 1:1.
