撒母耳记上 2:5 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

We have here Hannah's thanksgiving, dictated, not only by the spirit of prayer, but by the spirit of prophecy. Her petition for the mercy she desired we had before (1 Sam. 1:11), and here we have her return of praise; in both out of the abundance of a heart deeply affected (in the former with her own wants, and in the latter with God's goodness) her mouth spoke. Observe in general, 1. When she had received mercy from God she owned it, with thankfulness to his praise. Not like the nine lepers,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:5

They that are full have hired out themselves for bread ,.... Such as have been full of the good things of this life have been stripped of all, and reduced to such circumstances as to be obliged to hire themselves out to persons to labour under them for their bread. Hannah has either respect to some instances she had known, or prophesies of what would be hereafter, and was fulfilled in the Israelites, when in the hands of the Egyptians and Assyrians, Lamentations 4:6 and may be exemplified... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 2:5

They that were full - All the things mentioned in these verses frequently happen in the course of the Divine providence; and indeed it is the particular providence of God that Hannah seems more especially to celebrate through the whole of this simple yet sublime ode. read more

Salvation. The facts implied and indicated in the song are— 1 . Hannah's deliverance from grief and realisation of desire are perfected. 2 . God is recognised as the author of the great salvation. 3 . Under Divine inspiration Hannah sees in her own personal experience a type of various triumphs which God achieves for his people. 4 . She is conscious of an overwhelming joy in her own deliverance, and in the prevision of future triumphs of the Church. 5 . A clear and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

The prayer song of Hannah. In her prayer of asking Hannah was intent not merely on having a child, but on giving to the service of God a priest, and to the government of Israel a judge, very different from the sons of Eli—a Nazarite, a second and a better Samson. No wonder, then, that when she brought her son to the sanctuary, her prayer of thanksgiving took a large scope, and revealed even a prophetic fervour. What religious poetess has made such an impression as Hannah with one ode?... read more

See an instance in 1 Samuel 2:36. See, too, in Ezekiel 13:19, another example of hire paid in bread.Ceased - i. e. were at rest, did no work. The general sense is expressed by the translation of the Latin Version, “they were filled.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 2:5

1 Samuel 2:5. Have hired themselves out for bread They that formerly lived in affluence have been so reduced as to be obliged to labour hard for daily bread. They that were hungry ceased That is, ceased to suffer hunger, or to complain of it. This vicissitude of human affairs, especially the sudden turns which often take place, from a great height of prosperity to a very low condition, and the contrary, are very wonderful, and ought seriously to be pondered; that no man may be... read more

1 Samuel 2:5. And they that were hungry, ceased— Houbigant renders this, they that were oppressed with famine, shall no longer be so; whilst the barren shall bring forth seven, and she who had many children shall be deprived of strength. All the expressions in this and the other verses are designed to humble the pride of man, and to set forth the greatness, wisdom, and uncontrollable power of God. read more
