1 tn Heb “why is your heart displeased?”
2 sn Like the number seven, the number ten is sometimes used in the OT as an ideal number (see, for example, Dan 1:20, Zech 8:23).

4 tn Heb “what is good in your eyes.”
5 tn Heb “establish his word.” This apparently refers to the promise inherent in Eli’s priestly blessing (see v. 17).
6 sn The name Ichabod (אִי־כָבוֹד) may mean, “Where is the glory?”
