1 Samuel 2:6-8

6 O Senhor é o que tira a vida e a dá; faz descer ao Seol e faz subir dali.

7 O Senhor empobrece e enriquece; abate e também exalta.

8 Levanta do pó o pobre, do monturo eleva o necessitado, para os fazer sentar entre os príncipes, para os fazer herdar um trono de glória; porque do Senhor são as colunas da terra, sobre elas pôs ele o mundo.

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.
