Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 1:24

1 Samuel 1:24. With three bullocks, &c. As they were not to appear before the Lord empty, so upon this occasion they brought an ample offering to him, to testify their gratitude. And it is highly probable that one of these bullocks was wholly offered to God as a burnt-offering, and the other two were peace-offerings; or, as some rather think, one a sin-offering, and the other a peace-offering. One ephah of flour For the meat or meal- offerings, which to each bullock were three ... read more

1 Samuel 1:22. I will not go up until, &c.— There is nothing in the Hebrew for, I will not go up. It has been observed, that Elkanah and Hannah treat one another with the greatest propriety and tenderness, and present us with a fine example of a sensible and affectionate couple. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 1:23

1 Samuel 1:23. Only the Lord establish his word— Houbigant renders this, only the Lord establish that which thou hast said. We prefer, says he, to the common reading דברו debaro, his word, דברךֶ debarek, thy word, which the LXX, Syriac, and Arabic follow; for it does not appear that God had promised Hannah any thing concerning the condition and future life of her son. Therefore the words, may the Lord establish what thou hast spoken, signify "may the Lord grant that what thou hast vowed may be... read more

1 Samuel 1:24. With three bullocks— As one bullock only is mentioned in the next verse, the LXX, Syriac, and Arabic, read one bullock of three years old, which Houbigant approves and follows; observing, that in the 25th verse the demonstrative ה he, being prefixed, particularizes this very bullock, i.e. of three years old. And the child was young, Houbigant renders, was yet a crying infant; puerum vagientem. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

1. Hannah’s deliverance ch. 1"1 Samuel 1 is presented as a conventional birth narrative which moves from barrenness to birth. Laid over that plot is a second rhetorical strategy which moves from complaint to thanksgiving. With the use of this second strategy, the birth narrative is transposed and becomes an intentional beginning point for the larger Samuel-Saul-David narrative. Hannah’s story begins in utter helplessness (silence); it anticipates Israel’s royal narrative which also begins in... read more
