1 Samuel 第2章
Hannah’s Prayer
1And Hannah prayed and said,
2:1 For ver. 1-10, see Luke 1:46-53“My heart exults in the Lord;
My mouth derides my enemies,
for there is none besides you;
there is 2:2 Deut. 32:30, 31no rock like our God.
3Talk no more so very proudly,
let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
but the feeble bind on strength.
5Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
but those who were hungry have ceased to hunger.
2:5 Jer. 15:9but she who has many children is forlorn.
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
2:8 Job 36:7to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
2:8 [Job 38:4-6; Ps. 24:2; 102:25; 104:5]For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
and on them he has set the world.
92:9 Ps. 121:3; Prov. 3:26; [Ps. 91:11]“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,
for not by might shall a man prevail.
2:10 ch. 7:10; Ps. 18:13; [2 Sam. 22:14] against them he will thunder in heaven.
he will give strength to his king
Eli’s Worthless Sons
12Now the sons of Eli were 2:12 See ch. 1:16worthless men. 2:12 Judg. 2:10They did not know the Lord.
13The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand,
14and he would thrust it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
15Moreover, 2:15 Lev. 3:5, 16; 7:23, 25, 31before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw.”
16And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish,” he would say, “No, you must give it now, and if not, I will take it by force.”
182:18 ver. 11; ch. 3:1Samuel was ministering before the Lord, a boy 2:18 Ex. 28:4; 2 Sam. 6:14; 1 Chr. 15:27clothed with a linen ephod.
Eli Rebukes His Sons
22Now Eli was very old, and he kept hearing all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who 2:22 Ex. 38:8were serving at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
23And he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people.
24No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the Lord spreading abroad.
25If someone sins against a man, God will mediate for him, but if someone sins against the Lord, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to the voice of their father, 2:25 [Josh. 11:20]for it was the will of the Lord to put them to death.
The Lord Rejects Eli’s Household
27And there came 2:27 1 Kgs. 13:1a man of God to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, 2:27 [Ex. 3–12]‘Did I indeed reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh?
282:28 Ex. 28:1; Num. 18:1, 7Did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, 2:28 [ch. 14:3; 22:18] to wear an ephod before me? 2:28 Lev. 2:3, 10; 6:16; 7:7, 8, 34; 10:14, 15; Num. 5:9, 10; See Num. 18:8-19I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel.
29Why then do you 2:29 Deut. 32:15scorn2:29 Hebrew kick at my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded for my dwelling, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?’
30Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: 2:30 Ex. 27:21; 29:9‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ 2:30 [Jer. 18:9, 10]but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31Behold, 2:31 1 Kgs. 2:27; [ch. 4:11, 18, 20; 22:18, 19]the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.
32Then 2:32 ch. 4:11; [Judg. 18:30]; See Ps. 78:59-64in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, 2:32 [Zech. 8:4]and there shall not be an old man in your house forever.
33The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep his2:33 Septuagint; Hebrew your; twice in this verse eyes out to grieve his heart, and all the descendants2:33 Hebrew increase of your house shall die by the sword of men.2:33 Septuagint; Hebrew die as men
342:34 1 Kgs. 13:3And this that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die 2:34 ch. 4:11on the same day.
352:35 1 Kgs. 2:35; 1 Chr. 29:22And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. 2:35 ch. 25:28; 1 Kgs. 11:38; [2 Sam. 7:11, 27] And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before 2:35 2 Sam. 22:51; Ps. 18:50; [Ps. 89:20]my anointed forever.
36And everyone who is left in your house shall come to implore him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and shall say, “Please put me in one of the priests’ places, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
