1
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.

Thankfull's 1 Samuel Chapter 2 comment on 12/06/2012, 6:58am...
Surely, Hannah did not look at the waves coming from Phinehas. She succeeds and GOD grants her a child of her heart. Samuel was not just an ordinary child but a son. If we put total trust in GOD, HE will answer our prayers, and we will rejoice and praise GOD for what HE will have granted in our lives. Halleluiah…

1 Samuel 2:8-10 Principle illustrated: Man can accomplish great things with God’s strength. (((1))) Out of the dust, God raises the poor men and gives them their inheritance among princes. No man can overpower or even come remotely close to God’s strength. God, with his strength, will silence the wicked and anyone else who tries to disrupt his plan. God has recently shown me through godly influences around me and his precious word that I can succeed in anything when I realize how much I need his help. God has revealed to me that if I put little effort into something I will sow only that much but, if I give God my all, he will help me to succeed. He has given me an overabundance every time I give him my all. It took me a while to realize it but, God is my “All in All”, so why do I not always give him my all? Sometimes I tend to forget that I have to be faithful and do my part. I am so thankful that God is always faithful and does his part even when I do not deserve it.

Leaders should also be careful of their children as they can affect their ministry as demonstrated by Eli's sons. Even though Eli warned them but he could punish them.
Ojeka Michael's 1 Samuel Chapter 2 comment on 5/07/2012, 7:23am...
The prayers of Hannah, sacrifies and the vow which she vowed and redeemed turn the haert of Elli's childreen against GOD.Becouse Samuel was going to be a priest.
Aggrey's 1 Samuel Chapter 2 comment on 12/04/2011, 7:47am...
Many people get the courage to pray but remember not to give thanks when they recieve.Hannah glorifies GOD and prophesies just like parents ought to do for their children.The shame of her barrenness was swept away and she rejoiced over her enemies.Imagine a person from the villages of the countryside sitting and dining with kings in Jerusalem.we need extraodinaly mov'ts inorder to get extraordinally miracles.
Bitrus sambo bako's 1 Samuel Chapter 2 comment about verse 30 on 1/24/2011, 4:28am...
we are extremely privilege to be converted from sin, made believers & priest 1peter2:9. we carry GOD's presence & were made to offer daily sacrifice to HIM,so we ought to acknowledge this position & honor GOD in our lives.else we will be of little values before HIM.
Robin Ballard's 1 Samuel Chapter 2 comment on 1/13/2011, 2:01pm...
I think God deliberately shut up Hannah's womb, so that she in turn would cry out to him for a child, who in turn would serve God. The timing was perfect, because God would destroy Eli's sons and replace them with Samuel.
