サムエル記Ⅰ 1:14 JCB

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:9-18

9-18 Hannah mingled tears with her prayers; she considered the mercy of our God, who knows the troubled soul. God gives us leave, in prayer, not only to ask good things in general, but to mention that special good thing we most need and desire. She spoke softly, none could hear her. Hereby she testified her belief of God's knowledge of the heart and its desires. Eli was high priest, and judge in Israel. It ill becomes us to be rash and hasty in censures of others, and to think people guilty of... read more

the Child Dedicated to God 1 Samuel 1:12-28 Here is a delightful specimen of secret fellowship with God, and its results. Many were coming and going in the Tabernacle-court. It was no place for private prayer; and this sad woman had no opportunity for audible petition, so she spake in her heart. We may all do that amid the crowds that sweep gaily past us in their light-hearted way. Let us not grow weary. “She continued praying before the Lord.” People may misunderstand and reproach you.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

The first Book of Samuel covers a period of transition in the history of the nation, dealing with the process from the judges to the kings. The condition of the people under the Judges, as we have seen, was one of degeneracy. It was during this period that they practically rejected God as their one King. The clamor for an earthly king which followed was the natural outcome of this practical rejection. The first movement of the Book deals with the story of Samuel, the last, and in some senses,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:9-18

Hannah’s Prayer For A Son And How She Became Confident That YHWH Had Answered Her Prayer (1 Samuel 1:9-18 ). In this passage Hannah prays desperately for a son, and promises YHWH that if He will grant her a son she will give him to YHWH for as long as he lives. And when Eli ‘the Priest’ (the High Priest) has blessed her she knows that God has heard her prayer. Analysis. a So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk (1 Samuel 1:9 a). b Now Eli the priest was... read more

1 Samuel 1:9-Job : . Hannah Prays for a Child.— In her distress Hannah betook herself to the sanctuary and prayed before Yahweh, i.e. before the Ark, for a son. She vowed that if a son were given her, she would devote him to Yahweh; the outward sign of his devotion being one of the peculiarities of the Nazirites (pp. 103, 105, Judges 13:5 *, Numbers 6*), viz. that his hair should be allowed to grow. The priest of the sanctuary, Eli, a local magnate, also spoken of as “ judge,” ( 1 Samuel... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

1 Samuel 1-4 (with Judges 21:16-25 ) I. With all his virtues and natural advantages Eli had one great fault. He was a good man of the easy type; the kind of man who makes an admirable servant, who does his duty to perfection so long as his duty merely troubles himself, but who has not force of character to interfere with others; to command, to regulate the conduct of others, to incur the ill-will of others. An amiable indolence overspread his whole nature. He was one of the men who have... read more
