King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 1Samuel 2


1Samuel 2 (v. 1-10)
Hannah sung a prayer of thanksgiving and to God. This song is very similar to the one that Mary sung in the New Testament in Luke 1.46-55. The Church knows Mary's song as the Magnificat. The song of Hannah is known as the Magnificat of the Old Testament.

In verse 12-26, Eli, the high priest, had two sons who were wicked men, and had no respect for God. They sinned by taking the meat before it was offered to the Lord in a burnt offering, and they would send a servant to take a portion of the raw meat even before it was boiled. In God's eyes they treated the Lor's offering with contempt. The sons had also slept with the women who served at the entrance of the meeting. place. Eli had tried to rebuke them but they would not listen to them.

In v. 27-36 a man of God came and prophesied against the House of Eli, for the sons had treated the offerings made to God with contempt, The prophet said that both would die on the same day. God would take away the priesthood from Eli's family and give it to another. The priesthood was given to the family of Zadok.
