1 Samuel 2:1-21

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>_.
