Chapter 2
And
Hannah
prayed,
and
said,
My
heart
rejoiceth
in
the
Lord,
mine
horn
is
exalted
in
the
Lord:
my
mouth
is
enlarged
over
mine
enemies;
because
I
rejoice
in
thy
salvation.
2
There
is
none
holy
as
the
Lord:
for
there
is
none
beside
thee:
neither
is
there
any
rock
like
our
God.
3
Talk
no
more
so
exceeding
proudly;
let
not
arrogancy
come
out
of
your
mouth:
for
the
Lord
is
a
God
of
knowledge,
and
by
him
actions
are
weighed.
4
The
bows
of
the
mighty
men
are
broken,
and
they
that
stumbled
are
girded
with
strength.
5
They
that
were
full
have
hired
out
themselves
for
bread;
and
they
that
were
hungry
ceased:
so
that
the
barren
hath
born
seven;
and
she
that
hath
many
children
is
waxed
feeble.
6
The
Lord
killeth,
and
maketh
alive:
he
bringeth
down
to
the
grave,
and
bringeth
up.
7
The
Lord
maketh
poor,
and
maketh
rich:
he
bringeth
low,
and
lifteth
up.
8
He
raiseth
up
the
poor
out
of
the
dust,
and
lifteth
up
the
beggar
from
the
dunghill,
to
set
them
among
princes,
and
to
make
them
inherit
the
throne
of
glory:
for
the
pillars
of
the
earth
are
the
Lord’s,
and
he
hath
set
the
world
upon
them.
9
He
will
keep
the
feet
of
his
saints,
and
the
wicked
shall
be
silent
in
darkness;
for
by
strength
shall
no
man
prevail.
10
The
adversaries
of
the
Lord
shall
be
broken
to
pieces;
out
of
heaven
shall
he
thunder
upon
them:
the
Lord
shall
judge
the
ends
of
the
earth;
and
he
shall
give
strength
unto
his
king,
and
exalt
the
horn
of
his
anointed.
11
And
Elkanah
went
to
Ramah
to
his
house.
And
the
child
did
minister
unto
the
Lord
before
Eli
the
priest.
12
Now
the
sons
of
Eli
were
sons
of
Belial;
they
knew
not
the
Lord.
13
And
the
priests’
custom
with
the
people
was,
that,
when
any
man
offered
sacrifice,
the
priest’s
servant
came,
while
the
flesh
was
in
seething,
with
a
fleshhook
of
three
teeth
in
his
hand;
14
And
he
struck
it
into
the
pan,
or
kettle,
or
caldron,
or
pot;
all
that
the
fleshhook
brought
up
the
priest
took
for
himself.
So
they
did
in
Shiloh
unto
all
the
Israelites
that
came
thither.
15
Also
before
they
burnt
the
fat,
the
priest’s
servant
came,
and
said
to
the
man
that
sacrificed,
Give
flesh
to
roast
for
the
priest;
for
he
will
not
have
sodden
flesh
of
thee,
but
raw.
16
And
if
any
man
said
unto
him,
Let
them
not
fail
to
burn
the
fat
presently,
and
then
take
as
much
as
thy
soul
desireth;
then
he
would
answer
him,
Nay;
but
thou
shalt
give
it
me
now:
and
if
not,
I
will
take
it
by
force.
17
Wherefore
the
sin
of
the
young
men
was
very
great
before
the
Lord:
for
men
abhorred
the
offering
of
the
Lord.
18
But
Samuel
ministered
before
the
Lord,
being
a
child,
girded
with
a
linen
ephod.
19
Moreover
his
mother
made
him
a
little
coat,
and
brought
it
to
him
from
year
to
year,
when
she
came
up
with
her
husband
to
offer
the
yearly
sacrifice.
20
And
Eli
blessed
Elkanah
and
his
wife,
and
said,
The
Lord
give
thee
seed
of
this
woman
for
the
loan
which
is
lent
to
the
Lord.
And
they
went
unto
their
own
home.
21
And
the
Lord
visited
Hannah,
so
that
she
conceived,
and
bare
three
sons
and
two
daughters.
And
the
child
Samuel
grew
before
the
Lord.
22
Now
Eli
was
very
old,
and
heard
all
that
his
sons
did
unto
all
Israel;
and
how
they
lay
with
the
women
that
assembled
at
the
door
of
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation.
23
And
he
said
unto
them,
Why
do
ye
such
things?
for
I
hear
of
your
evil
dealings
by
all
this
people.
24
Nay,
my
sons;
for
it
is
no
good
report
that
I
hear:
ye
make
the
Lord’s
people
to
transgress.
25
If
one
man
sin
against
another,
the
judge
shall
judge
him:
but
if
a
man
sin
against
the
Lord,
who
shall
intreat
for
him?
Notwithstanding
they
hearkened
not
unto
the
voice
of
their
father,
because
the
Lord
would
slay
them.
26
And
the
child
Samuel
grew
on,
and
was
in
favour
both
with
the
Lord,
and
also
with
men.
27
And
there
came
a
man
of
God
unto
Eli,
and
said
unto
him,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Did
I
plainly
appear
unto
the
house
of
thy
father,
when
they
were
in
Egypt
in
Pharaoh’s
house?
28
And
did
I
choose
him
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
be
my
priest,
to
offer
upon
mine
altar,
to
burn
incense,
to
wear
an
ephod
before
me?
and
did
I
give
unto
the
house
of
thy
father
all
the
offerings
made
by
fire
of
the
children
of
Israel?
29
Wherefore
kick
ye
at
my
sacrifice
and
at
mine
offering,
which
I
have
commanded
in
my
habitation;
and
honourest
thy
sons
above
me,
to
make
yourselves
fat
with
the
chiefest
of
all
the
offerings
of
Israel
my
people?
30
Wherefore
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
saith,
I
said
indeed
that
thy
house,
and
the
house
of
thy
father,
should
walk
before
me
for
ever:
but
now
the
Lord
saith,
Be
it
far
from
me;
for
them
that
honour
me
I
will
honour,
and
they
that
despise
me
shall
be
lightly
esteemed.
31
Behold,
the
days
come,
that
I
will
cut
off
thine
arm,
and
the
arm
of
thy
father’s
house,
that
there
shall
not
be
an
old
man
in
thine
house.
32
And
thou
shalt
see
an
enemy
in
my
habitation,
in
all
the
wealth
which
God
shall
give
Israel:
and
there
shall
not
be
an
old
man
in
thine
house
for
ever.
33
And
the
man
of
thine,
whom
I
shall
not
cut
off
from
mine
altar,
shall
be
to
consume
thine
eyes,
and
to
grieve
thine
heart:
and
all
the
increase
of
thine
house
shall
die
in
the
flower
of
their
age.
34
And
this
shall
be
a
sign
unto
thee,
that
shall
come
upon
thy
two
sons,
on
Hophni
and
Phinehas;
in
one
day
they
shall
die
both
of
them.
35
And
I
will
raise
me
up
a
faithful
priest,
that
shall
do
according
to
that
which
is
in
mine
heart
and
in
my
mind:
and
I
will
build
him
a
sure
house;
and
he
shall
walk
before
mine
anointed
for
ever.
36
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
every
one
that
is
left
in
thine
house
shall
come
and
crouch
to
him
for
a
piece
of
silver
and
a
morsel
of
bread,
and
shall
say,
Put
me,
I
pray
thee,
into
one
of
the
priests’
offices,
that
I
may
eat
a
piece
of
bread.
