1 Samuel 4:13

13 And he came and saw that Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.[fn]

13

watching has the same Hebrew consonants (mzph) as 'Mizpah'. If the name 'Mizpah' was the original, it would be translated, "his seat by the road to Mizpah." No known text has this reading; however, the HOTTP indicates the original text probably did read this way.
