サムエル記Ⅰ 7:17 JCB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 7:15-17

Samuel Judges Israel Faithfully And Successfully (1 Samuel 7:15-17 ). Samuel’s judgeship after the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines is passed over very briefly, for the book is not a history of Samuel or of Saul but of the deliverances and kingship of YHWH. Note the twofold stress on justice and godliness, Samuel judged Israel and he built an altar to YHWH. This latter would be as a stand-in for the Tabernacle. Analysis. a And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life (1... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 7:2-17

1 Samuel 7:2-Esther : . Samuel as Judge.— Philistines subdued by Divine intervention; probably an ideal picture, by the Deuteronomic writer, of the happy results of Israel’ s repentance and Samuel’ s piety— peace, victory, and orthodoxy. The section is the typical form of the Deuteronomic accounts of the Judges— apostasy, oppression, repentance, deliverance. The statements that the Philistines ceased to invade Israel, and that the Israelites recovered the Philistine cities from Ekron to Gath,... read more

That by joining sacrifices with his prayers he might the better obtain direction and assistance from God upon all emergencies. Object. It was unlawful to build another altar for sacrifice besides that before the tabernacle, Deuteronomy 12:5,Deuteronomy 12:13. Answ. This was in part excused by the confusion of those times, wherein the tabernacle and its altar were destroyed, as is most probable; but most fully, because this was done by prophetical inspiration, and Divine dispensation, as appears... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 7:15-17

1 Samuel 7:15. “And Samuel Judged Israel.” “We must regard Samuel’s judging as a directing and ordering, in accordance with the above act of repentance, of the inner affairs of the people, who were by that religious act inwardly again purified. It consisted both in the administration of right and justice according to the law of the Lord, and in government proper, in the wise carrying out of measures that looked to the good of the people. During Saul’s life he kept unchanged the position of a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 7:1-17

Chapter 7And so the men of Kirjathjearim came, and they took the ark of the Lord; and they brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar the son to keep the ark of the Lord. And it came to pass, while the ark was there at Kirjathjearim, it was there for a long time; for twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord. And Samuel spake to all the house of Israel, saying, If you do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 7:1-17

1 Samuel 7:1 . Sanctified Eleazar, a levite, to keep the ark. Holy persons were consecrated by imposition of hands and by sacrifices, as was Samuel, a levite also. Abinadab seems to have been aged or dead. All the priests were purified anew, before they touched the holy vessels. 1 Samuel 7:2 . Lamented after the Lord; for they had heard anew of the fame of his ark. But the first work of repentance is to put away our idols and our sins. 1 Samuel 7:3 . Ashtaroth.
