Chapter 2
And
Hannah
prayed,
and
said,
My
heart
reioyceth
in
the
Lord,
mine
horne
is
exalted
in
the
Lord:
my
mouth
is
inlarged
ouer
mine
enemies:
because
I
reioyce
in
thy
saluation.
2
There
is
none
holy
as
the
Lord:
for
there
is
none
beside
thee:
neither
is
there
any
Rocke
like
our
God.
3
Talke
no
more
so
exceeding
proudly,
let
not
arrogancie
come
out
of
your
mouth:
for
the
Lord
is
a
God
of
knowledge,
and
by
him
actions
are
weighed.
4
The
vowes
of
the
mightie
men
are
broken,
and
they
that
stumbled
are
girt
with
strength.
5
They
that
were
full,
haue
hired
out
themselues
for
bread:
and
they
that
were
hungry,
ceased:
so
that
the
barren
hath
borne
seuen,
and
she
that
hath
many
children,
is
waxed
feeble.
6
The
Lord
killeth
and
maketh
aliue,
he
bringeth
downe
to
the
graue,
and
bringeth
vp.
7
The
Lord
maketh
poore,
and
maketh
rich:
he
bringeth
low,
and
lifteth
vp.
8
He
raiseth
vp
the
poore
out
of
the
dust,
and
lifteth
vp
the
begger
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
Lords,
and
hee
hath
set
the
world
vpon
them.
9
He
will
keepe
the
feet
of
his
saints,
and
the
wicked
shall
bee
silent
in
darkenesse;
for
by
strength
shall
no
man
preuaile.
10
The
aduersaries
of
the
Lord
shalbe
broken
to
pieces:
out
of
heauen
shal
he
thunder
vpon
them:
the
Lord
shall
iudge
the
ends
of
the
earth,
and
he
shal
giue
strength
vnto
his
king,
and
exalt
the
horne
of
his
Anointed.
11
And
Elkanah
went
to
Ramah
to
his
house,
and
the
child
did
minister
vnto
the
Lord
before
Eli
the
Priest.
12
Now
the
sonnes
of
Eli
were
sonnes
of
Belial,
they
knewe
not
the
Lord.
13
And
the
priests
custome
with
the
people
was,
that
when
any
man
offred
sacrifice,
the
priestes
seruant
came,
while
the
flesh
was
in
seething,
with
a
fleshhooke
of
three
teeth
in
his
hand,
14
And
he
strooke
it
into
the
panne,
or
kettle,
or
caldron,
or
pot:
all
that
the
flesh-hooke
brought
vp,
the
priest
tooke
for
himselfe:
so
they
did
in
Shiloh
vnto
all
the
Israelites
that
came
thither.
15
Also
before
they
burnt
the
fat,
the
priests
seruant
came,
&
said
to
the
man
that
sacrificed,
Giue
flesh
to
roste
for
the
priest,
for
he
wil
not
haue
sodden
flesh
of
thee,
but
raw.
16
And
if
any
man
said
vnto
him,
Let
them
not
faile
to
burne
the
fat
presently,
and
then
take
as
much
as
thy
soule
desireth:
then
hee
would
answere
him,
Nay,
but
thou
shalt
giue
it
mee
now:
and
if
not,
I
will
take
it
by
force.
17
Wherefore
the
sinne
of
the
yong
men
was
very
great
before
the
Lord:
for
men
abhorred
the
offering
of
the
Lord.
18
But
Samuel
ministred
before
the
Lord,
being
a
child,
girded
with
a
linnen
Ephod.
19
Moreouer,
his
mother
made
him
a
litle
coate,
and
brought
it
to
him
from
yeere
to
yeere,
when
she
came
vp
with
her
husband,
to
offer
the
yeerely
sacrifice.
20
And
Eli
blessed
Elkanah,
and
his
wife,
and
said,
The
Lord
giue
thee
seed
of
this
woman,
for
the
loane
which
is
lent
to
the
Lord.
And
they
went
vnto
their
owne
home.
21
And
the
Lord
visited
Hannah,
so
that
shee
conceiued,
and
bare
three
sonnes,
and
two
daughters:
and
the
child
Samuel
grew
before
the
Lord.
22
Now
Eli
was
very
olde,
and
heard
all
that
his
sonnes
did
vnto
all
Israel,
and
how
they
lay
with
the
women
that
assembled
at
the
doore
of
the
Tabernacle
of
the
Congregation
23
And
he
said
vnto
them,
Why
doe
ye
such
things?
for
I
heare
of
your
euil
dealings,
by
all
this
people.
24
Nay
my
sonnes:
for
it
is
no
good
report
that
I
heare;
yee
make
the
Lords
people
to
transgresse.
25
If
one
man
sinne
against
another,
the
Iudge
shall
iudge
him:
but
if
a
man
sinne
against
the
Lord,
who
shall
intreat
for
him?
Notwithstanding
they
hearkened
not
vnto
the
voice
of
their
father,
because
the
Lord
would
slay
them.
26
(And
the
child
Samuel
grew
on,
and
was
in
fauour,
both
with
the
Lord,
and
also
with
men.)
27
And
there
came
a
man
of
God
vnto
Eli,
and
saide
vnto
him,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Did
I
plainely
appeare
vnto
the
house
of
thy
father,
when
they
were
in
Egypt
in
Pharaohs
house?
28
And
did
I
chuse
him
out
of
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
to
be
my
Priest,
to
offer
vpon
mine
altar,
to
burne
incense,
to
weare
an
Ephod
before
me?
and
did
I
giue
vnto
the
house
of
thy
father,
all
the
offerings
made
by
fire
of
the
children
of
Israel?
29
Wherefore
kicke
ye
at
my
sacrifice,
and
at
mine
offering,
which
I
haue
commaunded
in
my
habitation,
and
honourest
thy
sonnes
aboue
mee,
to
make
your
selues
fat
with
the
chiefest
of
all
the
offrings
of
Israel
my
people?
30
Wherefore
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
saith,
I
sayd
indeede
that
thy
house,
&
the
house
of
thy
father
should
walke
before
me
for
euer:
but
now
the
Lord
saith,
Be
it
farre
from
mee;
for
them
that
honour
me,
I
will
honour,
and
they
that
despise
me,
shall
be
lightly
esteemed.
31
Behold,
the
dayes
come,
that
I
will
cut
off
thine
arme,
and
the
arme
of
thy
fathers
house,
that
there
shall
not
be
an
old
man
in
thine
house.
32
And
thou
shalt
see
an
enemie
in
my
habitation,
in
all
the
wealth
which
God
shall
giue
Israel,
and
there
shall
not
bee
an
olde
man
in
thine
house
for
euer.
33
And
the
man
of
thine,
whom
I
shall
not
cut
off
from
mine
Altar,
shall
be
to
consume
thine
eyes,
and
to
grieue
thine
heart:
and
all
the
increase
of
thine
house
shall
die
in
the
floure
of
their
age.
34
And
this
shall
bee
a
signe
vnto
thee,
that
shall
come
vpon
thy
two
sonnes,
on
Hophni
and
Phinehas:
in
one
day
they
shall
die
both
of
them.
35
And
I
will
raise
me
vp
a
faithfull
Priest,
that
shall
doe
according
to
that
which
is
in
my
heart
and
in
my
mind,
and
I
will
build
him
a
sure
house,
and
hee
shall
walke
before
mine
Anointed
for
euer.
36
And
it
shall
come
to
passe,
that
euery
one
that
is
left
in
thine
house,
shal
come
and
crouch
to
him
for
a
piece
of
siluer,
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.
