1 Samuel 2:3

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 2:3

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; thou Peninnah, boast no more of thy numerous offspring, and speak no more insolently and scornfully of me, as thou hast done. She speaks of her in the plural number, brings many because she would not expose her name to censure, but only instruct and reprove her for her good. Arrogancy, Heb. hard speeches, as those are called, Jude 1:15, harsh, heavy, and not to be borne. Or, the old sayings; either the old proverbs concerning barren women, which thou appliedst... 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 2:3

1 Samuel 2:3 In all God's dealings with us there is one thing of which we may be perfectly sure, they will be done deliberately; delicately, by measurement, with accuracy, in proportion. We are quite safe there from all hastiness and inconsideration those two banes of human judgment. Job's prayer is always answered, "Let me be weighed in the balance." Alike the greatest and the least from those giants of nature, the everlasting hills, down to the dust of the earth, and to the smallest thought... read more

DISCOURSE: 282HANNAH’S SONG OF THANKSGIVING1 Samuel 2:1-10. And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:1-36

This book presents the history, the personal history of Samuel who was the last of the Judges. It ushers in the beginning of the period of the kings in the children of Israel, or among the children of Israel.There's a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah. He had two wives; one was Hannah, the other Peninnah: Peninnah had children, Hannah had no children.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 2:1-36

1 Samuel 2:1 . Hannah said, my heart rejoiceth. This song is much admired: the lines form a constellation of appropriate beauties. The composition is perfect in its kind. The phrases are short, and the sentiments brilliant. The soul of the poetess was full of her subject. 1 Samuel 2:12 . Sons of Belial, as in Deuteronomy 13:13.

1 Samuel 2:1-10And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord. Hannah’s songModern criticism has decided, to its own satisfaction, that the noble hymn here attributed to Hannah, cannot possibly have been uttered by her lips as a thanksgiving for the birth of Samuel. It breaks the obvious connexion of the narrative: its real theme is the rout of the nation’s enemies, and the triumph of the national armies: above all, the concluding words, which speak of Jehovah’s King, and pray that... read more

She speaks of his holiness; “There is none holy as the Lord.” St. Mary the Virgin echoes her, when in her song she says: “Holy is his name.” This would be a very sad thought for sinners, whose thoughts, and words, and actions, are so unholy, were it not that our Lord Jesus Christ has atoned for our sins by His death, and has also in our nature led a perfectly holy life; and that, if we join ourselves to Him by faith,... read more

1 Samuel 2:3-4Talk no more exceeding proudly.The different forms of pride1. The pride of conquest. “The bows of the mighty men are broken.”2. The pride of abundance. There may be pride in any and every condition of life. Children, as well as grown people, may be very proud; and God hates pride in the young as much as in the old. Some children,--nay, and some grown people, too, are proud of fine clothes, and like to strut about while the gloss is new on their wearing apparel. Others are proud of... read more
