2:1 | And Hannah <02584> prayed <06419> (8691), and said <0559> (8799), My heart <03820> rejoiceth <05970> (8804) in the LORD <03068>, mine horn <07161> is exalted <07311> (8804) in the LORD <03068>: my mouth <06310> is enlarged <07337> (8804) over mine enemies <0341> (8802); because I rejoice <08055> (8804) in thy salvation <03444>. |
2:2 | [There is] none holy <06918> as the LORD <03068>: for [there is] none beside <01115> thee: neither [is there] any rock <06697> like our God <0430>. |
2:3 | Talk <01696> (8762) no more <07235> (8686) so exceeding <01364> proudly <01364>; let [not] arrogancy <06277> come <03318> (8799) out of your mouth <06310>: for the LORD <03068> [is] a God <0410> of knowledge <01844>, and by him actions <05949> are weighed <08505> (8738). {arrogancy: Heb. hard} |
2:4 | The bows <07198> of the mighty men <01368> [are] broken <02844>, and they that stumbled <03782> (8737) are girded <0247> (8804) with strength <02428>. |
2:5 | [They that were] full <07649> have hired out <07936> (8738) themselves for bread <03899>; and [they that were] hungry <07457> ceased <02308> (8804): so that the barren <06135> hath born <03205> (8804) seven <07651>; and she that hath many <07227> children <01121> is waxed feeble <0535> (8797). |
2:6 | The LORD <03068> killeth <04191> (8688), and maketh alive <02421> (8764): he bringeth down <03381> (8688) to the grave <07585>, and bringeth up <05927> (8686). |
2:7 | The LORD <03068> maketh poor <03423> (8688), and maketh rich <06238> (8688): he bringeth low <08213> (8688), and <0637> lifteth up <07311> (8789). |
2:8 | He raiseth up <06965> (8688) the poor <01800> out of the dust <06083>, [and] lifteth up <07311> (8686) the beggar <034> from the dunghill <0830>, to set <03427> (8687) [them] among princes <05081>, and to make them inherit <05157> (8686) the throne <03678> of glory <03519>: for the pillars <04690> of the earth <0776> [are] the LORD'S <03068>, and he hath set <07896> (8799) the world <08398> upon them. |
2:9 | He will keep <08104> (8799) the feet <07272> of his saints <02623>, and the wicked <07563> shall be silent <01826> (8735) in darkness <02822>; for by strength <03581> shall no man <0376> prevail <01396> (8799). |
2:10 | The adversaries <07378> (8688) of the LORD <03068> shall be broken to pieces <02865> (8735); out of heaven <08064> shall he thunder <07481> (8686) upon them: the LORD <03068> shall judge <01777> (8799) the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>; and he shall give <05414> (8799) strength <05797> unto his king <04428>, and exalt <07311> (8686) the horn <07161> of his anointed <04899>. |
2:11 | And Elkanah <0511> went <03212> (8799) to Ramah <07414> to his house <01004>. And the child <05288> did <01961> (8804) minister <08334> (8764) unto the LORD <03068> before <06440> Eli <05941> the priest <03548>. |
2:12 | Now the sons <01121> of Eli <05941> [were] sons <01121> of Belial <01100>; they knew <03045> (8804) not the LORD <03068>. |
2:13 | And the priests <03548>' custom <04941> with the people <05971> [was, that], when any man <0376> offered <02076> (8802) sacrifice <02077>, the priest's <03548> servant <05288> came <0935> (8804), while the flesh <01320> was in seething <01310> (8763), with a fleshhook <04207> of three <07969> teeth <08127> in his hand <03027>; |
2:14 | And he struck <05221> (8689) [it] into the pan <03595>, or kettle <01731>, or caldron <07037>, or pot <06517>; all that the fleshhook <04207> brought up <05927> (8686) the priest <03548> took <03947> (8799) for himself. So they did <06213> (8799) in Shiloh <07887> unto all the Israelites <03478> that came <0935> (8802) thither. |
2:15 | Also before they burnt <06999> (8686) the fat <02459>, the priest's <03548> servant <05288> came <0935> (8804), and said <0559> (8804) to the man <0376> that sacrificed <02076> (8802), Give <05414> (8798) flesh <01320> to roast <06740> (8800) for the priest <03548>; for he will not have <03947> (8799) sodden <01310> (8794) flesh <01320> of thee, but raw <02416>. |
2:16 | And [if] any man <0376> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Let them not fail <06999> (8686) to burn <06999> (8763) the fat <02459> presently <03117>, and [then] take <03947> (8798) [as much] as thy soul <05315> desireth <0183> (8762); then he would answer <0559> (8804) him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give <05414> (8799) [it me] now: and if not, I will take <03947> (8804) [it] by force <02394>. {presently: Heb. as on the day} |
2:17 | Wherefore the sin <02403> of the young men <05288> was very <03966> great <01419> before <06440> the LORD <03068>: for men <0582> abhorred <05006> (8765) the offering <04503> of the LORD <03068>. |
2:18 | But Samuel <08050> ministered <08334> (8764) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, [being] a child <05288>, girded <02296> (8803) with a linen <0906> ephod <0646>. |
2:19 | Moreover his mother <0517> made <06213> (8799) him a little <06996> coat <04598>, and brought <05927> (8689) [it] to him from year <03117> to year <03117>, when she came up <05927> (8800) with her husband <0376> to offer <02076> (8800) the yearly <03117> sacrifice <02077>. |
2:20 | And Eli <05941> blessed <01288> (8765) Elkanah <0511> and his wife <0802>, and said <0559> (8804), The LORD <03068> give <07760> (8799) thee seed <02233> of this woman <0802> for the loan <07596> which is lent <07592> (8804) to the LORD <03068>. And they went <01980> (8804) unto their own home <04725>. {loan...: or, petition which she asked, etc} |
2:21 | And <03588> the LORD <03068> visited <06485> (8804) Hannah <02584>, so that she conceived <02029> (8799), and bare <03205> (8799) three <07969> sons <01121> and two <08147> daughters <01323>. And the child <05288> Samuel <08050> grew <01431> (8799) before <05973> the LORD <03068>. |
2:22 | Now Eli <05941> was very <03966> old <02204> (8804), and heard <08085> (8804) all that his sons <01121> did <06213> (8799) unto all Israel <03478>; and how they lay <07901> (8799) with the women <0802> that assembled <06633> (8802) [at] the door <06607> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>. {assembled: Heb. assembled by troops} |
2:23 | And he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Why do <06213> (8799) ye such things <01697>? for I hear <08085> (8802) of your evil <07451> dealings <01697> by all this people <05971>. {of your...: or, evil words of you} |
2:24 | Nay, my sons <01121>; for [it is] no good <02896> report <08052> that I hear <08085> (8802): ye make the LORD'S <03068> people <05971> to transgress <05674> (8688). {transgress: or, cry out} |
2:25 | If one man <0376> sin <02398> (8799) against another <0376>, the judge <0430> shall judge <06419> (8765) him: but if a man <0376> sin <02398> (8799) against the LORD <03068>, who shall intreat <06419> (8691) for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened <08085> (8799) not unto the voice <06963> of their father <01>, because the LORD <03068> would <02654> (8804) slay <04191> (8687) them. |
2:26 | And the child <05288> Samuel <08050> grew <01432> on <01980> (8802), and was in favour <02896> both with the LORD <03068>, and also with men <0582>. |
2:27 | And there came <0935> (8799) a man <0376> of God <0430> unto Eli <05941>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Did I plainly <01540> (8736) appear <01540> (8738) unto the house <01004> of thy father <01>, when they were in Egypt <04714> in Pharaoh's <06547> house <01004>? |
2:28 | And did I choose <0977> (8800) him out of all the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> [to be] my priest <03548>, to offer <05927> (8800) upon mine altar <04196>, to burn <06999> (8687) incense <07004>, to wear <05375> (8800) an ephod <0646> before <06440> me? and did I give <05414> (8799) unto the house <01004> of thy father <01> all the offerings made by fire <0801> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>? |
2:29 | Wherefore kick <01163> (8799) ye at my sacrifice <02077> and at mine offering <04503>, which I have commanded <06680> (8765) [in my] habitation <04583>; and honourest <03513> (8762) thy sons <01121> above me, to make yourselves fat <01254> (8687) with the chiefest <07225> of all the offerings <04503> of Israel <03478> my people <05971>? |
2:30 | Wherefore the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> saith <05002> (8803), I said <0559> (8804) indeed <0559> (8800) [that] thy house <01004>, and the house <01004> of thy father <01>, should walk <01980> (8691) before <06440> me for <05704> ever <05769>: but now the LORD <03068> saith <05002> (8803), Be it far from me <02486>; for them that honour <03513> (8764) me I will honour <03513> (8762), and they that despise <0959> (8802) me shall be lightly esteemed <07043> (8799). |
2:31 | Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), that I will cut off <01438> (8804) thine arm <02220>, and the arm <02220> of thy father's <01> house <01004>, that there shall not be an old man <02205> in thine house <01004>. |
2:32 | And thou shalt see <05027> (8689) an enemy <06862> [in my] habitation <04583>, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give <03190> (8686) Israel <03478>: and there shall not be an old man <02205> in thine house <01004> for ever <03117>. {an enemy...: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel} |
2:33 | And the man <0376> of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off <03772> (8686) from mine altar <04196>, [shall be] to consume <03615> (8763) thine eyes <05869>, and to grieve <0109> thine heart <05315>: and all the increase <04768> of thine house <01004> shall die <04191> (8799) in the flower of their age <0582>. {in the flower...: Heb. men} |
2:34 | And this [shall be] a sign <0226> unto thee, that shall come <0935> (8799) upon thy two <08147> sons <01121>, on Hophni <02652> and Phinehas <06372>; in one <0259> day <03117> they shall die <04191> (8799) both <08147> of them. |
2:35 | And I will raise me up <06965> (8689) a faithful <0539> (8737) priest <03548>, [that] shall do <06213> (8799) according to [that] which [is] in mine heart <03824> and in my mind <05315>: and I will build <01129> (8804) him a sure <0539> (8737) house <01004>; and he shall walk <01980> (8694) before <06440> mine anointed <04899> for ever <03117>. |
2:36 | And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left <03498> (8737) in thine house <01004> shall come <0935> (8799) [and] crouch <07812> (8692) to him for a piece <095> of silver <03701> and a morsel <03603> of bread <03899>, and shall say <0559> (8804), Put <05596> (8798) me, I pray thee, into one <0259> of the priests' offices <03550>, that I may eat <0398> (8800) a piece <06595> of bread <03899>. {Put: Heb. Join} {one of...: or, somewhat about the priesthood} |
