1 Samuel 2:6-8

6 Der HERR tötet und macht lebendig, führt in die Hölle und wieder heraus.

7 Der HERR macht arm und macht reich; er erniedrigt und erhöht.

8 Er hebt auf den Dürftigen aus dem Staub und erhöht den Armen aus dem Kot, daß er ihn setze unter die Fürsten und den Stuhl der Ehre erben lasse. Denn der Welt Grundfesten sind des HERRN, und er hat den Erdboden darauf gesetzt.

1 Samuel 2:6-8 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.
