Ebenezer is used in the hymn, "Come Thou Fount" to mean a rock (The Rock) that helps. It comes from two words in Hebrew that mean help and stone.

Ebenezer means "Stone of Help" When Israel defeated the Philistines, Samuel set up a stone as a memorial because of the help that Jehovah had given them.

There is a Christian hymn, Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" which mentions "Ebenezer" the Christians Stone of Help. "Jesus Christ".
