1 Samuel 1:11

Context
1:11 She made a vow saying, “O Lord of hosts, if you will look with compassion 1  on the suffering of your female servant, 2  remembering me and not forgetting your servant, and give a male child 3  to your servant, then I will dedicate him to the Lord all the days of his life. His hair will never be cut.” 4 

1 Samuel 16:11

Context
16:11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Is that all of the young men?” Jesse 5  replied, “There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.”

[1:11]  1 tn Heb “if looking you look.” The expression can refer, as here, to looking favorably upon another, in this case with compassion.

[1:11]  2 tn Heb “handmaid.” The use of this term (translated two more times in this verse and once each in vv. 16, 17 simply as “servant” for stylistic reasons) is an expression of humility.

[1:11]  3 tn Heb “seed of men.”

[1:11]  4 tn Heb “a razor will not go up upon his head.”

[16:11]  5 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jesse) has been specified in the translation both here and in v. 12 for clarity.
