撒母耳記上 2:21 RCUVTS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 2:21

Visited, to wit, in mercy, and with his blessing, as that word is used, Genesis 21:1; Exodus 13:19; Jeremiah 15:15; not in anger, as it is taken Exodus 32:34; Leviticus 26:16. Grew; not only in age and stature, but especially in wisdom and goodness, as Luke 1:15. Or, was magnified; or grew great, famous and acceptable, as 1 Samuel 2:26. Before the Lord; not only before men, who might be deceived, but in the presence and judgment of the all-seeing God. read more

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-36

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:21

1 Samuel 2:21 (with 1 Samuel 2:26 ) Early growth in grace and knowledge, the training up of a child in the fear and nurture of the Lord and in the praise of His holy name; this is the great lesson which is exemplified in the early life of Samuel.

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Samuel 2:21

1 Samuel 2:21And the child Samuel grew before the Lord. Growth the best test“Where there is life there will be growth, and if grace be true, it will surely increase. A painted flower keepeth always at the same pitch and stature; the artist may bestow beauty upon it, but he cannot bestow life. A painted child will be as little ten years hence as it is now” What need there is to observe the wide distinction between the picture and the living thing! Of painted likenesses of Christians we have more... read more
