Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 1:16
1 Samuel 1:16. Count not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial, &c. A Scripture phrase for a wicked person. Thus, when we are unjustly censured, we should endeavour not only to clear ourselves, but to satisfy our brethren, by giving them a just and true account of what they misapprehended. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 1:17-18
1 Samuel 1:17-18. Eli said, Go in peace, &c. Her modest and respectful answer fully satisfied him, and he prayed that God would grant her petition, or, as the Chaldee interprets his words, assured her, that the God of Israel would grant it her. Let thy handmaid find grace in thy sight That favourable opinion and gracious prayer which thou hast expressed on my behalf, be pleased to continue toward me. Her countenance was no more sad Her heart being cheered by the priest’s comfortable... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:1-28
1:1-7:17 ISRAEL UNDER ELI AND UNDER SAMUELBirth of Samuel (1:1-2:11)Elkanah was a Levite who lived in the tribal territory of Ephraim (1:1; 1 Chronicles 6:33-38). Each year he took his family to the town of Shiloh to offer sacrifices to the Lord. (Since the time of Joshua, Shiloh had been the central place of worship in Israel; Joshua 18:1,Joshua 18:10; Judges 18:31.) According to the regulations for certain sacrifices, the offerer, after offering his sacrifice, received back some of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 1:17
1 Samuel 1:17. Eli answered and said, Go in peace— Satisfied by her modest and respectful answer, Eli dismisses her with a blessing; which appears to have given Hannah so much gratification, that she departed in perfect complacence, nothing doubting of the completion of her petition, which the high-priest had condescended himself to enforce. The Chaldee renders it, go in peace; and the God of Israel will grant thee, &c. REFLECTIONS.—1. Hannah took the first opportunity of retiring, to pour... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 1:1-28
1. Hannah’s deliverance ch. 1"1 Samuel 1 is presented as a conventional birth narrative which moves from barrenness to birth. Laid over that plot is a second rhetorical strategy which moves from complaint to thanksgiving. With the use of this second strategy, the birth narrative is transposed and becomes an intentional beginning point for the larger Samuel-Saul-David narrative. Hannah’s story begins in utter helplessness (silence); it anticipates Israel’s royal narrative which also begins in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 1:9-18
Hannah’s lament and Eli’s response 1:9-18These verses provide some insight into the godly character of Samuel’s mother and her personal relationship with Yahweh. That she would offer her son to God’s service for life was similar to asking that God would lead your child into "the ministry." Asking that he would be a lifetime Nazirite was similar to asking that your child would dedicate himself completely to God, not just by profession but also by conviction. Hannah showed that she desired the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:13-18
Harsh judgment meekly answered. We hear much of the mothers of eminent men, and it is easy to see whence Samuel derived his elevation of mind, his religious temperament, and the natural aptitude to be a seer and prophet of God. It was from his mother—the sensitive, poetical, devout, unselfish Hannah. Her prayer at the house of the Lord in Shiloh shows her in a noble light. She asked for no vengeance on her adversary Peninnah, who had so often taunted her, but only for a son whom she might... read more
