撒母耳记上 2:5 RCUVSS

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 2:4-5

(4) The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. (5) They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. Some have thought, that Hannah is here triumphing over Penninah, who before insulted her. But I conceive, that Hannah's mind was soaring to an higher subject. It is the triumph of the Church of Jesus over all her adversaries,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:5

Many. Hebrew, "seven," which is often used in the same sense. Anna had never more than six children; (Calmet) whereas Phenenna had perhaps ten, chap. i. 8., and iii. 21. (Haydock) --- The Rabbins pretend that she lost one every time that Anna brought forth. But the text says nothing of the kind. It only insinuates at most, that she had no more. This admirably represents the state of the Synagogue, compared to the Christian Church. (St. Augustine, sup.) (Calmet; Worthington) --- The blessed... read more

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Samuel 2:1-11

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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-11

the God of the Lowly 1 Samuel 2:1-11 Hannah’s song was to inspire David, the Virgin-Mother, and countless others to sing hymns of praise. So the song of a bird will set the whole woodland ringing with the minstrelsy of a feathered chorus. We, too, shall sing someday! God will turn the waters of our tears, which fill the jars to their brim, into the wine of joy. You, also, my friend, shall someday take your harp from the willows and get from it music which will go through the world to stir... 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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

Faith as Exemplified in Hannah 1 Samuel 2:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There are two prayers which fell from the lips of Hannah. The first is described in chapter 1, of I Samuel. It was a prayer full of weeping, of confession and of tears. It was following the birth of her son, and his weaning, that Hannah's second recorded prayer was given. The prayer was offered when the child was brought to the Temple and dedicated to God. With her gift made, and her son offered to God as a willing sacrifice,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 2:1-10

The Prayer-Prophecy of Hannah (1 Samuel 2:1-10 ). This prayer-prophecy should be seen as continuing the thought of 1 Samuel 1:0. It does, however, summarise the message of the whole book, leading up to the exaltation of His righteous king, and the promise of an everlasting king arising from David’s house. In it Hannah prophesies concerning the greatness of YHWH, and of his dealings with the righteous as against the unrighteous, and then she gazes ahead to the establishment of the glorious,... read more
