Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

CHAPTER III.HANNAH’S SONG OF THANKSGIVING.1 Samuel 2:1-10.THE emotion that filled Hannah’s breast after she had granted Samuel to the Lord, and left him settled at Shiloh, was one of triumphant joy. In her song we see no trace of depression, like that of a bereaved and desolate mother. Some may be disposed to think less of Hannah on this account; they may think she would have been more of a true mother if something of human regret had been apparent in her song. But surely we ought not to blame... read more

2. Hannah’s Prophetic Song CHAPTER 2:1 - 10 1. The praise of Jehovah-God (1 Samuel 2:1-3 ) 2. Jehovah’s power and grace in deliverance (1 Samuel 2:4-8 ) 3. The prophetic outlook (1 Samuel 2:9-10 ) Hannah’s heart filled with the Holy Spirit overflows with a marvellous utterance. Higher criticism claims “that this beautiful sacred lyric could not have been sung by Hannah in the circumstances as described. The words of verse 5 alone approach her situation, and doubtless led to the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 2:1-36

The rejoicing prayer of Hannah is now uttered AFTER she has given up her child. The prayer of Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus, reminds us of this one, though hers was spoken before he child was born. Samuel, the first of the prophets, is surely typical of Christ, and Hannah's prayer implies the intervention of the Messiah in man's affairs, as verse 10 shows. The language is therefore that which the godly remnant of Israel will use following the suffering of the tribulation when the "the Sun... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-11

SAMUEL ’S BIRTH AND DEDICATION A SORROWFUL WIFE (1 Samuel 1:0 ) Like Ruth, the opening of First Samuel deals with events in the time of the Judges, and is the book of transition from that period to the monarchy. 1 Samuel 1:1-8 . Though there is difficulty in locating the city named in verse 1, yet it appears that Elkanah was a native of Bethlehem-judah like Elimelech (see the first lesson in Ruth). He was a Levite (see 1 Chronicles 6:33-34 ), and if it is surprising that he practiced... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Samuel 2:1-36

The Sons of Eli 1Sa 2:17 ELI was high-priest of the Jews when the ark of the Lord was in Shiloh. His two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the Lord. Their office was holy, but their character was corrupt. They touched sacred things with unworthy hands. "The sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord." Their administration of the priestly office was characterised by the most rapacious selfishness. Hence we read "the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord."... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:6-8

(6) The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (7) The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. (8) He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. These are all so many beautiful repetitions of the same important doctrine, in asserting... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

1-10 Hannah's heart rejoiced, not in Samuel, but in the Lord. She looks beyond the gift, and praises the Giver. She rejoiced in the salvation of the Lord, and in expectation of His coming, who is the whole salvation of his people. The strong are soon weakened, and the weak are soon strengthened, when God pleases. Are we poor? God made us poor, which is a good reason why we should be content, and make up our minds to our condition. Are we rich? God made us rich, which is a good reason why we... read more

Hannah's Song of Thankfulness v. 1. And Hannah prayed and said, in an exaltation of spirit brought about by the Holy Ghost, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord, said of vigorous courage and consciousness of power; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies, being opened widely to praise the salvation of the Lord ; because I rejoice in Thy salvation, in the merciful kindness which Jehovah had shown her. v. 2. There is none holy as the Lord; for there is none beside... read more
