1 Samuel 2

1 Hannah's song in thankfulness. 12 The sin of Eli's sons. 18 Samuel's ministry. 20 By Eli's blessing Hannah is more fruitful. 22 Eli reproveth his sons. 27 A prophecy against Eli's house.

 2:1 ¶ And Hannah 2584 prayed, 6419 z8691 and said, 559 z8799 My heart 3820 rejoiceth 5970 z8804 in the LORD, 3068 mine horn 7161 is exalted 7311 z8804 in the LORD: 3068 my mouth 6310 is enlarged 7337 z8804 over x5921 mine enemies; 341 z8802 because x3588 I rejoice 8055 z8804 in thy salvation. 3444

 2:2 [There is] none x369 holy 6918 as the LORD: 3068 for x3588 [there is] none x369 beside 1115 thee: neither x369 [is there] any rock 6697 like our God. 430

 2:3 Talk 1696 z8762 no x408 more 7235 z8686 so exceeding y1364 proudly; 1364 let [not] arrogancy 6277 come y3318 z8799 out x3318 of your mouth: 6310 x4480 for x3588 the LORD 3068 [is] a God 410 of knowledge, 1844 and by him actions 5949 are weighed. 8505 z8738

 2:4 The bows 7198 of the mighty men 1368 [are] broken, 2844 and they that stumbled 3782 z8737 are girded 247 z8804 with strength. 2428

 2:5 [They that were] full 7649 have hired out y7936 z8738 themselves x7936 for bread; 3899 and [they that were] hungry 7457 ceased: 2308 z8804 so that x5704 the barren 6135 hath born 3205 z8804 seven; 7651 and she that hath many 7227 children 1121 is waxed feeble. 535 z8797

 2:6 The LORD 3068 killeth, 4191 z8688 and maketh alive: 2421 z8764 he bringeth down 3381 z8688 to the grave, 7585 and bringeth up. 5927 z8686

 2:7 The LORD 3068 maketh poor, 3423 z8688 and maketh rich: 6238 z8688 he bringeth low, 8213 z8688 and 637 lifteth up. 7311 z8789

 2:8 He raiseth up 6965 z8688 the poor 1800 out of the dust, 6083 x4480 [and] lifteth up 7311 z8686 the beggar 34 from the dunghill, 830 x4480 to set 3427 z8687 [them] among x5973 princes, 5081 and to make them inherit 5157 z8686 the throne 3678 of glory: 3519 for x3588 the pillars 4690 of the earth 776 [are] the LORD'S, 3068 and he hath set 7896 z8799 the world 8398 upon x5921 them.

 2:9 He will keep 8104 z8799 the feet 7272 of his saints, 2623 and the wicked 7563 shall be silent 1826 z8735 in darkness; 2822 for x3588 by strength 3581 shall no x3808 man 376 prevail. 1396 z8799

 2:10 The adversaries 7378 z8688 of the LORD 3068 shall be broken to pieces; 2865 z8735 out of heaven 8064 shall he thunder 7481 z8686 upon x5921 them: the LORD 3068 shall judge 1777 z8799 the ends 657 of the earth; 776 and he shall give 5414 z8799 strength 5797 unto his king, 4428 and exalt 7311 z8686 the horn 7161 of his anointed. 4899

 2:11 And Elkanah 511 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Ramah 7414 to x5921 his house. 1004 And the child 5288 did 1961 z8804 minister 8334 z8764 unto x853 the LORD 3068 x853 before 6440 Eli 5941 the priest. 3548

 2:12 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Eli 5941 [were] sons 1121 of Belial; 1100 they knew 3045 z8804 not x3808 x853 the LORD. 3068

 2:13 And the priests' 3548 custom 4941 with x854 the people 5971 [was, that], when any x3605 man 376 offered 2076 z8802 sacrifice, 2077 the priest's 3548 servant 5288 came, 935 z8804 while the flesh 1320 was in seething, 1310 z8763 with a fleshhook 4207 of three 7969 teeth 8127 in his hand; 3027

 2:14 And he struck 5221 z8689 [it] into the pan, 3595 or x176 kettle, 1731 or x176 caldron, 7037 or x176 pot; 6517 all x3605 that x834 the fleshhook 4207 brought up 5927 z8686 the priest 3548 took 3947 z8799 for himself. So x3602 they did 6213 z8799 in Shiloh 7887 unto all x3605 the Israelites 3478 that came 935 z8802 thither. x8033

 2:15 Also x1571 before x2962 they burnt 6999 z8686 x853 the fat, 2459 the priest's 3548 servant 5288 came, 935 z8804 and said 559 z8804 to the man 376 that sacrificed, 2076 z8802 Give 5414 z8798 flesh 1320 to roast 6740 z8800 for the priest; 3548 for he will not x3808 have 3947 z8799 sodden y1310 z8794 flesh 1320 x1310 of x4480 thee, but x3588 x518 raw. 2416

 2:16 And [if] any man 376 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Let them not fail y6999 z8686 to burn 6999 z8763 the fat 2459 presently, 3117 and [then] take 3947 z8798 [as much] as x834 thy soul 5315 desireth; 183 z8762 then he would answer 559 z8804 him, [Nay]; but x3588 thou shalt give 5414 z8799 [it me] now: x6258 and if x518 not, x3808 I will take 3947 z8804 [it] by force. 2394

 2:17 Wherefore the sin 2403 of the young men 5288 was x1961 very 3966 great 1419 x853 before 6440 the LORD: 3068 for x3588 men y582 x376 abhorred 5006 z8765 x853 the offering 4503 of the LORD. 3068

 2:18 ¶ But Samuel 8050 ministered 8334 z8764 x853 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 [being] a child, 5288 girded 2296 z8803 with a linen 906 ephod. 646

 2:19 Moreover his mother 517 made 6213 z8799 him a little 6996 coat, 4598 and brought 5927 z8689 [it] to him from year y3117 to year, 3117 x4480 when she came up 5927 z8800 with x854 her husband 376 to offer 2076 z8800 x853 the yearly 3117 sacrifice. 2077

 2:20 ¶ And Eli 5941 blessed 1288 z8765 x853 Elkanah 511 and his wife, 802 and said, 559 z8804 The LORD 3068 give 7760 z8799 thee seed 2233 of x4480 this x2063 woman 802 for x8478 the loan 7596 which x834 is lent 7592 z8804 to the LORD. 3068 And they went 1980 z8804 unto their own home. 4725

 2:21 And 3588 the LORD 3068 visited 6485 z8804 x853 Hannah, 2584 so that she conceived, 2029 z8799 and bare 3205 z8799 three 7969 sons 1121 and two 8147 daughters. 1323 And the child 5288 Samuel 8050 grew 1431 z8799 before 5973 the LORD. 3068

 2:22 ¶ Now Eli 5941 was very 3966 old, 2204 z8804 and heard 8085 z8804 x853 all x3605 that x834 his sons 1121 did 6213 z8799 unto all x3605 Israel; 3478 and how x834 they lay 7901 z8799 with x854 the women 802 that assembled 6633 z8802 [at] the door 6607 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation. 4150

 2:23 And he said 559 z8799 unto them, Why x4100 do 6213 z8799 ye such x428 things? 1697 for x834 I x595 hear 8085 z8802 of x853 your evil 7451 dealings 1697 by x4480 x854 all x3605 this x428 people. 5971

 2:24 Nay, x408 my sons; 1121 for x3588 [it is] no x3808 good 2896 report 8052 that x834 I x595 hear: 8085 z8802 ye make the LORD'S 3068 people 5971 to transgress. 5674 z8688

 2:25 If x518 one man 376 sin 2398 z8799 against another, 376 the judge 430 shall judge 6419 z8765 him: but if x518 a man 376 sin 2398 z8799 against the LORD, 3068 who x4310 shall intreat 6419 z8691 for him? Notwithstanding x3808 they hearkened 8085 z8799 not unto the voice 6963 of their father, 1 because x3588 the LORD 3068 would 2654 z8804 slay 4191 z8687 them.

 2:26 And the child 5288 Samuel 8050 grew y1432 x1980 on, y1980 z8802 x1432 and was in favour 2896 both x1571 with x5973 the LORD, 3068 and also x1571 with x5973 men. y582 x376

 2:27 ¶ And there came 935 z8799 a man 376 of God 430 unto x413 Eli, 5941 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD, 3068 Did I plainly y1540 z8736 appear 1540 z8738 unto x413 the house 1004 of thy father, 1 when they were x1961 in Egypt 4714 in Pharaoh's 6547 house? 1004

 2:28 And did I choose 977 z8800 him out of all x4480 x3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 [to be] my priest, 3548 to offer 5927 z8800 upon x5921 mine altar, 4196 to burn 6999 z8687 incense, 7004 to wear 5375 z8800 an ephod 646 before 6440 me? and did I give 5414 z8799 unto the house 1004 of thy father 1 x853 all x3605 the offerings made by fire 801 of the children 1121 of Israel? 3478

 2:29 Wherefore x4100 kick 1163 z8799 ye at my sacrifice 2077 and at mine offering, 4503 which x834 I have commanded 6680 z8765 [in my] habitation; 4583 and honourest 3513 z8762 x853 thy sons 1121 above x4480 me, to make yourselves fat 1254 z8687 with the chiefest 7225 x4480 of all x3605 the offerings 4503 of Israel 3478 my people? 5971

 2:30 Wherefore x3651 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 saith, 5002 z8803 I said 559 z8804 indeed 559 z8800 [that] thy house, 1004 and the house 1004 of thy father, 1 should walk 1980 z8691 before 6440 me for y5704 ever: 5769 x5704 but now x6258 the LORD 3068 saith, 5002 z8803 Be it far x2486 from me; y2486 for x3588 them that honour 3513 z8764 me I will honour, 3513 z8762 and they that despise 959 z8802 me shall be lightly esteemed. 7043 z8799

 2:31 Behold, x2009 the days 3117 come, 935 z8802 that I will cut off 1438 z8804 x853 thine arm, 2220 and the arm 2220 of thy father's 1 house, 1004 that there shall not be x4480 x1961 an old man 2205 in thine house. 1004

 2:32 And thou shalt see 5027 z8689 an enemy 6862 [in my] habitation, 4583 in all x3605 [the wealth] which x834 [God] shall give 3190 z8686 x853 Israel: 3478 and there shall not x3808 be x1961 an old man 2205 in thine house 1004 for ever. 3117 x3605

 2:33 And the man 376 of thine, [whom] I shall not x3808 cut off 3772 z8686 from x4480 x5973 mine altar, 4196 [shall be] to consume 3615 z8763 x853 thine eyes, 5869 and to grieve 109 x853 thine heart: 5315 and all x3605 the increase 4768 of thine house 1004 shall die 4191 z8799 in the flower of their age. y582 x376

 2:34 And this x2088 [shall be] a sign 226 unto thee, that x834 shall come 935 z8799 upon x413 thy two 8147 sons, 1121 on x413 Hophni 2652 and Phinehas; 6372 in one 259 day 3117 they shall die 4191 z8799 both 8147 of them.

 2:35 And I will raise me up 6965 z8689 a faithful 539 z8737 priest, 3548 [that] shall do 6213 z8799 according to [that] which x834 [is] in mine heart 3824 and in my mind: 5315 and I will build 1129 z8804 him a sure 539 z8737 house; 1004 and he shall walk 1980 z8694 before 6440 mine anointed 4899 for ever. 3117 x3605

 2:36 And it shall come to pass, x1961 [that] every one x3605 that is left 3498 z8737 in thine house 1004 shall come 935 z8799 [and] crouch 7812 z8692 to him for a piece 95 of silver 3701 and a morsel 3603 of bread, 3899 and shall say, 559 z8804 Put 5596 z8798 me, I pray thee, x4994 into x413 one 259 of the priests' offices, 3550 that I may eat 398 z8800 a piece 6595 of bread. 3899
