1 Samuel Chapter 2

 

1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My mind rejoices in Jehovah, my horn is exalted in Jehovah: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 There is not one as holy as Jehovah, for there is no one beside you, neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Don't let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread; and those who were hungry ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she who has many children became feeble.
6 Jehovah kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up.
7 Jehovah makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts 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 Jehovah 's, and he has set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: Jehovah shall judge the ends of the Earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did serve Jehovah before Eli the priest.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they did not know Jehovah.
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 boiling, with a flesh hook of three teeth in his hand;
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites that came.
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 you, but raw.
16 And if any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as your heart desires; then he would answer him, no; but you shall give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah: for men abhorred the offering of Jehovah.
18 But Samuel served before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 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, Jehovah give you seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to Jehovah. And they went to their own home.
21 And Jehovah visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did to all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 And he said to them, Why do you such things? For I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 no, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you make Jehovah 's people to transgress.
25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah would slay them.
26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men.
27 And a man of God came to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Did I plainly appear to the house of your 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 my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of your father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Why kick you at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the top of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Therefore Jehovah God of Israel says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me to the Kingdom Age, but now Jehovah says, Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32 And you shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in your house all the days.
33 And the man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your mind: and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 And this shall be a sign to you, that shall come upon your 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 my mind, in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed for a time.
36 And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray you, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
