1 Samuel, Chapter 2

1 Then Hannah prayed and said,
“My heart exults in the LORD;
Mya I.e. strengthhorn is exalted in the LORD,
My mouthb Lit is enlargedspeaks boldly against my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
 2 “There is no one holy like the LORD,
Indeed, there is no one besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God.
 3 “c Lit Talk muchBoast no more so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
For the LORD is a God of knowledge,
And with Him actions are weighed.
 4 “The bows of the mighty are shattered,
But the feeble gird on strength.
 5 “Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to hunger.
Even the barren gives birth to seven,
But she who has many children languishes.
 6 “The LORD kills and makes alive;
He brings down tod I.e. the nether worldSheol and raises up.
 7 “The LORD makes poor and rich;
He brings low, He also exalts.
 8 “He raises the poor from the dust,
He lifts the needy from the ash heap
To make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of honor;
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S,
And He set the world on them.
 9 “He keeps the feet of His godly ones,
But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;
For not by might shall a man prevail.
 10 “Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered;
Against them He will thunder in the heavens,
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth;
And He will give strength to His king,
And will exalt thee I.e. strengthhorn of His anointed.”
11 Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 Now the sons of Eli weref Lit sons of Belialworthless men; they did not know the LORD 13 and the custom of the priests with the people. When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand. 14 Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. Thus they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Also, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw.” 16 If the man said to him, “They must surelyg Lit offer up in smokeburn the fath Lit like the dayfirst, and then take as much asi Lit your soulyou desire,” then he would say, “No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force.” 17 Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD.
18 Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boyj Lit girded withwearing a linen ephod. 19 And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20 Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May the LORD give youk Lit seedchildren from this woman in place ofl Lit the one asked for which was lentthe one she dedicated to the LORD.” And they went to their ownm Lit placehome.
21 The LORD visited Hannah; and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew before the LORD.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting. 23 He said to them, “Why do you do such things, the evil things that I hear from all these people? 24 No, my sons; for the report is not good which I hearn Or making the Lord’s people transgressthe LORD’S people circulating. 25 If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death.
26 Now the boy Samuelo Lit was going on both great and goodwas growing in stature and in favor both with the LORD and with men.
27 Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Did I not indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house? 28 Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me; and did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel? 29 Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with thep Or firstchoicest of every offering of My people Israel?’ 30 Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever’; but now the LORD declares, ‘Far be it from Me—for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, the days are coming when I will break yourq Or armstrength and ther Or armstrength of your father’s house so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 You will see the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good thats Lit He doesI do for Israel; and an old man will not be in your house forever. 33 Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altart Lit to waste away your eyes and to grieve your soulso that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will dieu Lit as menin the prime of life. 34 This will be the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on the same day both of them will die. 35 But I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who will do according to what is in My heart and in My soul; and I will build him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed always. 36 Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for av Or paymentpiece of silver or a loaf of bread and say, “Pleasew Lit attachassign me to one of the priest’s offices so that I may eat a piece of bread.”’”
