1 Samuel 1:13 KJV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 1:9-18

Hannah’s lament and Eli’s response 1:9-18These verses provide some insight into the godly character of Samuel’s mother and her personal relationship with Yahweh. That she would offer her son to God’s service for life was similar to asking that God would lead your child into "the ministry." Asking that he would be a lifetime Nazirite was similar to asking that your child would dedicate himself completely to God, not just by profession but also by conviction. Hannah showed that she desired the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

The Birth of SamuelHannah, the childless wife of Elkanah, is. grieved by her childlessness, and prays for a son. Her prayer is heard, and in gratitude she consecrates her child to the service of Jehovah.1. Ramathaim-zophim] Ramathaim (’double height’) probably denotes the district in which Ramah (’height’) was the chief town. It was at Ramah that Samuel was born, lived, laboured, died, and was buried. As Ramah was a common name in a hilly country like Palestine, Zophim is here added to denote... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Samuel 1:13

(13) Now Hannah, she spake in her heart.—Eli was watching the worshippers, and, as Bunsen well remarks, was struck with dismay at her silent earnestness, such heartfelt prayer being apparently not usual at that time, and remembering the condition of the moral life in the precincts of the sanctuary over which he ruled with so weak and vacillating a rule, and how sadly frequent were disorders at the sacrificial meal, at once suspected that the weeping, praying one was a drunken woman. He,... read more

Samuel the Seer In Samuel we have a deep stretch of condescension God in communion with the life of a child. I. Was he a miracle this little Samuel? No in the view characteristic of the Bible he is the real and normal aspect of humanity. All seers of God's kingdoms have seen it by the light of their childhood. We do not drop our childhood when we become men, we carry it with us into the life of men. Every sage bears within his bosom a little Samuel an instinctive child life which concludes... read more

CHAPTER I.HANNAH’S TRIAL AND TRUST.1 Samuel 1:1-18.THE prophet Samuel, like the book which bears his name, comes in as a connecting link between the Judges and the Kings of Israel. He belonged to a transition period. It was appointed to him to pilot the nation between two stages of its history: from a republic to a monarchy; from a condition of somewhat casual and indefinite arrangements to one of more systematic and orderly government. The great object of his life was to secure that this... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

From 1 Chronicles 6:22-28 we learn that Elkanah was a Levite of the sons of Kohath. The names of four of his forebears are recorded in verse 1, which in order of descent are Zuph (meaning "observer"); Tohu ("low, sunk down"); Elihu ("my God is He"); Jeroham ("he is tenderly loved"); resulting in Elkanah ("God has purchased"). These meanings give some indication of the working of God in view of accomplishing His own will in the eventual outcome seen in His servant Samuel. The two wives of... read more

SAMUEL ’S BIRTH AND DEDICATION A SORROWFUL WIFE (1 Samuel 1:0 ) Like Ruth, the opening of First Samuel deals with events in the time of the Judges, and is the book of transition from that period to the monarchy. 1 Samuel 1:1-8 . Though there is difficulty in locating the city named in verse 1, yet it appears that Elkanah was a native of Bethlehem-judah like Elimelech (see the first lesson in Ruth). He was a Levite (see 1 Chronicles 6:33-34 ), and if it is surprising that he practiced... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

The Birth of Samuel 1Sa 1:20 HANNAH, the wife of Elkanah, besought the Lord for a man child. This draws our attention to the scope of human prayer. Men cannot pray by rule. We do but mock men when we say, You must pray for this and not for that. Such an exhortation may do for a man when his heart is not inflamed by the passion of godly desire; it may do for him in his coldest and most indifferent mental states. But when he is in his most vehement and determined moods, he cannot be fettered... read more

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "... only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard." 1 Samuel 1:13 . Yet it was possible to form some opinion of the agitation of Hannah's mind. It was known that she was not in a jovial mood, but that her soul was cast down within her. The power of the soul to write itself on the face is indicative of its still larger power to write itself on all the circumstances and events through which it passes, and upon the society with which it comes in... read more
