サムエル記上 2:26 JC

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Samuel 2:22-36

The Prophecy Against Eli v. 22. Now Eli was very old and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, as described above, and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, women who performed certain services in the court of the Tabernacle, Exodus 38:8, so that the Sanctuary was desecrated by the sensual lusts of these men, by their seduction of the serving women. v. 23. And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:22-36

the Penalty of Dishonoring God 1 Samuel 2:22-36 Eli was held responsible for the excesses of his sons. He was a mild and gentle old man. But there are times when mildness and gentleness are out of place. We must be stern and strong when the occasion demands. It is always necessary to be on the alert, lest flabbiness and weakness should pass under the designation of Christian graces. Moreover, severer measures might have restrained his sons, 1 Samuel 3:13 . Therefore in the message of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 2:1-36

We have the record of the song of triumph sung by Hannah, in which she set forth the might and justice of Jehovah. Thus, in the dark and troublous times, Jehovah is seen acting toward deliverance, by answering the prayer of faith as faith operated in the heart of a simple and trusting woman. There is much human passion manifest in her desire, but the fact that she turned to Jehovah is evidence of her trust in Him; and on the basis of that confidence she prepared a way for the future guidance... read more

‘LOOK ON THIS PICTURE AND ON THAT’‘Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.… And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.’ 1 Samuel 2:12-Ezekiel : The sacred historian dwells with evident pleasure on the beautiful, holy boyhood of the child who served before the Lord, wearing a linen ephod, and who in the visitations of the night, thrilling to the Divine voice which called him by his name, answered fearlessly, ‘Speak, Lord; for... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:26

IN FAVOUR WITH GOD AND MEN‘And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.’ 1 Samuel 2:26 These words arouse our attention, not merely on account of what they tell us about the character of Samuel, but also because they are the same words which are used to describe the character of our Lord. Samuel was, in his young days, apparently, the same sort of child as was our Lord. Each was in favour with the Lord. I. Naturalness in children.—He was a child just... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 2:26

Samuel Continues To Grow On, And Is Increasing In Favour Both With YHWH And With Men (1 Samuel 2:26 ). 1 Samuel 2:26 ‘ And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favour both with YHWH, and also with men.’ While Eli’s sons have totally deteriorated, and have come under the condemnation of both YHWH and men. Samuel continues to ‘grow on’. He is doing the exact opposite. He is increasing in favour both with YHWH and with men. Happy the one of whom this can be said. All who had contact with... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:18-26

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES—1 Samuel 2:18. “But.” The Levite-child is contrasted with the grown-up priest” (Wordsworth). “Ephod.” “It does not appear whether the Levites wore the ephod properly. Micah wore one, but that may have been in his character as priest (Judges 18:4; Judges 18:6; Judges 18:14), and David when he danced before the ark (2 Samuel 6:14). Possibly this was a mark of Samuel’s special dedication” (Biblical Commentary).1 Samuel 2:19. “Coat.” Meil, rendered mantle in 1 Samuel... read more
