The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Samuel 1:11

1 Samuel 1:11And she vowed a vow. About setting our hearts upon thingsAnd Hannah,--what shall we say of her passionate longing and prayer for a child? Was this sinful, like the longing of the Israelites for gross and stimulating food? or was it foolish, and wanting in judgment, like good King Hezekiah’s prayer for a longer life? There are traces in the story of its having been neither the one nor the other. In the first place, the granting of her request turned out thoroughly well; it turned... read more

1 Samuel 1:13Now Hannah, she spake in her heart.Hannah as a worshipperThe strength of Hannah’s moral character is manifested in her temple service. She possessed a force of soul which lifted her above trouble. Many in her circumstances would have hid the tears of their graceful nature in attic solitude; but Hannah goes to the temple to supplicate the aid of Heaven, and where so likely to be obtained as at its Shiloh Porch?1. Hannah was a tearful worshipper. “Wept sore” (1 Samuel 1:10). The... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Samuel 1:13-17

1 Samuel 1:13-17Therefore Eli thought she was drunken. Of the sinfulness of rash judgmentsThis was not the first time, nor will it be the last that God’s true servants have been mocked and falsely accused for actions which have been really pious and devout. They are “a peculiar people”--peculiar, that is, to the world, who cannot understand their ways If you resolve to be a Christian, indeed, you must be prepared to be misunderstood, and to have things said about you which are not true. Eli’s... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:9

1Sa 1:9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD. Ver. 9. So Hannah rose up. ] Fasting as she was - not in ease to eat, because in heaviness; compare Leviticus 10:19 , - she rose up to go to the place of worship and prayer, over against the most holy place. See 1 Samuel 1:15 ; 1 Samuel 1:18 . Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat. ] Without the tabernacle; for within it, sacerdotibus neque... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:10

1Sa 1:10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. Ver. 10. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed. ] Herein she took a right course to get comfort. So did David, Psa 109:4 and Paul, 1Co 4:13 "being defamed we pray." If she should have rendered to Peninnah railing for railing, there would have been somewhat to do. Prayer and patience are the best antidotes against contempt and contumelies; the one hot, the other cold; the one quickening, the other... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:11

1Sa 1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. Ver. 11. And she vowed a vow. ] Not without the consent of her husband, 1Sa 1:22 who else had power to vacate and disannul it. Num 30:8 A vow is a binding of one’s self to God by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:12

1Sa 1:12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. Ver. 12. And she continued praying. ] Heb., Multiplied to pray; as resolved not to give over her suit. Prayer, like those arrows of deliverance, should be multiplied. Luk 18:1 Misericordiam extorquemas, said those primitive Christians. We wring out of God’s holy hands that mercy which he with an unwilling willingness withholdeth for a while, that we may be the more importunate. Eli marked her... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 1:13

1Sa 1:13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. Ver. 13. She spake in her heart. ] Vocis egit silentio ut corde clamaret, as Augustine saith of Moses. Exo 14:4-5 Non vex sed votum. Therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. ] Here was devotion misconstrued. So was it in those good souls that were puriores caelo, as Chrysostom saith; Act 2:13 in those ancient martyrs, whose constancy was counted... read more
