F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:12-28

the Child Dedicated to God 1 Samuel 1:12-28 Here is a delightful specimen of secret fellowship with God, and its results. Many were coming and going in the Tabernacle-court. It was no place for private prayer; and this sad woman had no opportunity for audible petition, so she spake in her heart. We may all do that amid the crowds that sweep gaily past us in their light-hearted way. Let us not grow weary. “She continued praying before the Lord.” People may misunderstand and reproach you. The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 1:1-28

The first Book of Samuel covers a period of transition in the history of the nation, dealing with the process from the judges to the kings. The condition of the people under the Judges, as we have seen, was one of degeneracy. It was during this period that they practically rejected God as their one King. The clamor for an earthly king which followed was the natural outcome of this practical rejection. The first movement of the Book deals with the story of Samuel, the last, and in some senses,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:21-28

A Life Dedicated to God 1 Samuel 1:21-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We are studying today the story of a man who was noted for his piety, and purity, and prayer. He was not a Prophet as was Isaiah, or Jeremiah, or Daniel. He did not foretell Israel's future nor God's revelations of the things to come. He did go in and out before Israel as a man who was appointed of God and who walked with God. It will be interesting for us to know how it was that Samuel came on to the scenes of Israel's national... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:19-26

They Return Home and Samuel Is Born, And When He Is Weaned He Is Given To YHWH (1 Samuel 1:21-26 ). In accordance with Hannah’s faith she bears a son, and will not again go up to the Temple until she can fulfil her vow and present him to YHWH.

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:19-28

1 Samuel 1:19-Hosea : . Samuel is Born and Dedicated to Yahweh.— The family went home and in due time a son was born to Hannah, whom she called Shemuel (Samuel), possibly, “ His name is God.” “ His Name” = Yahweh, i.e. “ Yahweh is God” ; cf. Elijah and Joel, which have a similar meaning. When Samuel was weaned, i.e. after two years at least, perhaps longer, as he is said to have “ ministered” apparently at once, Hannah took him to Shiloh, made an offering of a bullock (LXX of 1 Samuel... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 1:22

Hannah went not up, to wit, at that sacred anniversary feast, to which she went up before but now did not, because she could not with satisfaction to her mind and conscience appear before the Lord empty, or without paying her vow; nor bring her child thither to God, and then carry him away from God to her own house. Nor did she sin by not going up; for the women were not obliged go up at the solemn feasts, but the men only, Exodus 23:17. Until the child be weaned; not only from the breast and... read more

The Lord establish his word; either, first, The word of God made known to them by Eli, above, 1 Samuel 4:17, which being delivered by God’s high priest, and that in answer to his and his wife’s prayers, he took to be a kind of oracle sent from God. But that word was already fulfilled in the birth of a son. Or, secondly, Some other word or message from God to Elkanah or his wife concerning Samuel; for such revelations were frequent in those ages of the church, and were oft vouchsafed by God,... read more

Three bullocks; either, first, One to be offered at that time; the other two presented to the priest, whether for his own use, or to be offered afterwards, as he saw fit. Or, secondly, One for a burnt-offering the second for a sin-offering, the third for a peace-offering, of which they might all feast together; for all these sorts seem expedient for this work and time. One ephah of flour, for the meat-offerings belonging to the principal sacrifices, which to each bullock were three tenth deals,... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES.—1 Samuel 1:21. “Yearly Sacrifice” literally, the “offering of the days,”—the Israelites’ customary and obligatory annual sacrifice. The “offering of the days “is, as it were, the yearly reckoning with the Lord, the presentation of those portions of the property which fall to him in the course of the year” (Hengstenberg). “His Vow.” Here is a proof that Elkanah had likewise vowed unto the Lord in reference to Samuel.1 Samuel 1:23. “Only the Lord establish His... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES.—1 Samuel 1:24. Hebrew mothers were accustomed to suckle their children for three years (2Ma. 7:27). “A child three years old is not troublesome in the East, and his nurture and education could be committed to the women that served at the door of the Tabernacle. By the education which the boy received in the Sanctuary he was even as a child to grow into the service; and moreover, as a child, he could perform little outward services” (Lange’s Commentary). “Three... read more
