Hannah's Song of Thanksgiving

1 Then Hannah 1prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; 2My horn is exalted in the LORD, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because 3I rejoice in Your salvation.
2 "4There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, 5there is no one besides You, 6Nor is there any rock like our God.
3 "Boast no more so very proudly, 7Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; 8For the LORD is a God of knowledge, 9And with Him actions are weighed.
4 "10The bows of the mighty are shattered, 11But the feeble gird on strength.
5 "Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease to hunger. 12Even the barren gives birth to seven, But 13she who has many children languishes.
6 "14The LORD kills and makes alive; 15He brings down to Sheol and raises up.

1 Samuel 2:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 2

In this chapter the song of Hannah is recorded, 1Sa 2:1-10, and an account is given of the return of Elkanah and Hannah to their own home, and of the care she took yearly to provide a coat for Samuel, and of her being blessed with many other children, and of the growth and ministry of Samuel before the Lord, 1Sa 2:11,18-21,26, and of the wickedness of the sons of Eli, 1Sa 2:12-17, and of Eli's too gentle treatment of them when he reproved them for it, 1Sa 2:22-25 and of a sharp message sent him from the Lord on that account, threatening destruction to his house, of which the death of his two sons would be a sign, 1Sa 2:27-36.
