1 Samuel 2

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>_.
[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>_.
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}
The bows
<07198>
of the mighty men
<01368>
[are] broken
<02844>_,
and they that stumbled
<03782> (8737)
are girded
<0247> (8804)
with strength
<02428>_.
[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)_.
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)_.
The LORD
<03068>
maketh poor
<03423> (8688)_,
and maketh rich
<06238> (8688)_:
he bringeth low
<08213> (8688)_,
and
<0637>
lifteth up
<07311> (8789)_.
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.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
Now the sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>
[were] sons
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_;
they knew
<03045> (8804)
not the LORD
<03068>_.
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>_;
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.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
But Samuel
<08050>
ministered
<08334> (8764)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
[being] a child
<05288>_,
girded
<02296> (8803)
with a linen
<0906>
ephod
<0646>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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.
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>_.
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>_?
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>_?
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>_?
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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.
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>_.
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>_.
