1 Samuel 2:8-9

8 El levanta del polvo al pobre, Y al menesteroso ensalza del estiércol, Para asentarlo con los príncipes; Y hace que tengan por heredad asiento de honra: Porque de Jehová son las columnas de la tierra, Y él asentó sobre ellas el mundo.

9 El guarda los pies de sus santos, Mas los impíos perecen en tinieblas; Porque nadie será fuerte por su fuerza.

1 Samuel 2:8-9 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.
