And she said, let thine handmaid find grace in thy
sight
She had found favour in his sight she perceives, and she desires
it might be continued and increased; and that as he had prayed
for her, he would still use his interest at the throne of grace
for her:
so the woman went her way;
took her leave of Eli, and went from the tabernacle to her
husband: and did eat; what remained of the peace offerings, which
were to be eaten that night, and not left till the morning; and
though she would not eat her dinner, her heart was so full of
grief, yet she could now make a good supper, being eased and
relieved in her mind:
and her countenance was no more sad;
sorrowful and dejected, but cheerful, brisk, and lively;
believing that her prayers, and those of the high priest, would
be answered.
