And she vowedH5087 a vow,H5088 and said,H559 O LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 ifH518 you will indeed lookH7200 on the afflictionH6040 of your handmaid,H519 and rememberH2142 me, and not forgetH7911 your handmaid,H519 but will giveH5414 to your handmaidH519 a manH582 child,H2233 then I will giveH5414 him to the LORDH3068 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his life,H2416 and there shall noH3808 razorH4177 comeH5927 on his head.H7218 And it cameH1961 to pass, as she continuedH7235 prayingH6419 beforeH6440 the LORD,H3068 that EliH5941 markedH8104 her mouth.H6310 Now Hannah,H2584 she spokeH1696 in her heart;H3820 onlyH7535 her lipsH8193 moved,H5128 but her voiceH6963 was not heard:H8085 therefore EliH5941 thoughtH2803 she had been drunken.H7910 And EliH5941 saidH559 to her, HowH5704 longH5704 will you be drunken?H7937 putH5493 awayH5493 your wineH3196 from you. And HannahH2584 answeredH6030 and said,H559 No,H3808 my lord,H113 I am a womanH802 of a sorrowfulH7186 spirit:H7307 I have drunkH8354 neitherH3808 wineH3196 nor strong drink,H7941 but have pouredH8210 out my soulH5315 beforeH6440 the LORD.H3068 CountH5414 not your handmaidH519 for a daughterH1323 of Belial:H1100 for out of the abundanceH7230 of my complaintH7879 and griefH3708 have I spokenH1696 till now.H5704 H2008 Then EliH5941 answeredH6030 and said,H559 GoH3212 in peace:H7965 and the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 grantH5414 you your petitionH7596 that you have askedH7592 of him. And she said,H559 Let your handmaidH8198 findH4672 graceH2580 in your sight.H5869 So the womanH802 wentH3212 her way,H1870 and did eat,H398 and her countenanceH6440 was noH3808 moreH5750 sad. And they roseH7925 up in the morningH1242 early,H7925 and worshippedH7812 beforeH6440 the LORD,H3068 and returned,H7725 and cameH935 to their houseH1004 to Ramah:H7414 and ElkanahH511 knewH3045 HannahH2584 his wife;H802 and the LORDH3068 rememberedH2142 her. Why it cameH1961 to pass, when the timeH3117 was comeH8622 about after HannahH2584 had conceived,H2029 that she boreH3205 a son,H1121 and calledH7121 his nameH8034 Samuel,H8050 saying, BecauseH3588 I have askedH7592 him of the LORD.H3068 And the manH376 Elkanah,H511 and allH3605 his house,H1004 wentH5927 up to offerH2076 to the LORDH3068 the yearlyH3117 sacrifice,H2077 and his vow.H5088 But HannahH2584 wentH5927 not up; for she saidH559 to her husband,H376 I will not go up untilH5704 the childH5288 be weaned,H1580 and then I will bringH935 him, that he may appearH7200 beforeH854 H6440 the LORD,H3068 and thereH8033 abideH3427 for ever.H5769 And ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 saidH559 to her, DoH6213 what seemsH5869 you good;H2896 tarryH3427 untilH5704 you have weanedH1580 him; onlyH389 the LORDH3068 establishH6965 his word.H1697 So the womanH802 stayed,H3427 and gave her sonH1121 suckH3243 untilH5704 she weanedH1580 him. And whenH834 she had weanedH1580 him, she tookH5927 him up with her, with threeH7969 bullocks,H6499 and oneH259 ephahH374 of flour,H7058 and a bottleH5035 of wine,H3196 and broughtH935 him to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in Shiloh:H7887 and the childH5288 was young.H5288 And they slewH7819 a bullock,H6499 and broughtH935 the childH5288 to Eli.H5941 And she said,H559 OhH994 my lord,H113 as your soulH5315 lives,H2416 my lord,H113 I am the womanH802 that stoodH5324 by you here,H2088 prayingH6419 to the LORD.H3068 For thisH2088 childH5288 I prayed;H6419 and the LORDH3068 has givenH5414 me my petitionH7596 whichH834 I askedH7592 of him: Therefore alsoH1571 I have lentH7592 him to the LORD;H3068 as longH3117 as he livesH3117 he shall be lentH7592 to the LORD.H3068 And he worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 there.H8033 And HannahH2584 prayed,H6419 and said,H559 My heartH3820 rejoicesH5970 in the LORD,H3068 my hornH7161 is exaltedH7311 in the LORD:H3068 my mouthH6310 is enlargedH7337 overH5921 my enemies;H341 becauseH3588 I rejoiceH8055 in your salvation.H3444 There is noneH369 holyH6918 as the LORD:H3068 for there is noneH369 besideH1115 you: neitherH369 is there any rockH6697 like our God.H430 TalkH1696 noH408 moreH7235 so exceeding proudly;H1364 let not arroganceH6277 comeH3318 out of your mouth:H6310 for the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of knowledge,H1844 and by him actionsH5949 are weighed.H8505 The bowsH7198 of the mightyH1368 men are broken,H2844 and they that stumbledH3782 are girdedH247 with strength.H2428 They that were fullH7646 have hiredH7936 out themselves for bread;H3899 and they that were hungryH7456 ceased:H2308 soH5704 that the barrenH6135 has bornH3205 seven;H7651 and she that has manyH7227 childrenH1121 is waxed feeble.H535 The LORDH3068 kills,H4191 and makes alive:H2421 he bringsH3381 downH3381 to the grave,H7585 and bringsH5927 up. The LORDH3068 makes poor,H3423 and makes rich:H6238 he bringsH8213 low,H8213 and liftsH7311 up. He raisesH6965 up the poorH1800 out of the dust,H6083 and liftsH7311 up the beggarH34 from the dunghill,H830 to setH3427 them amongH5973 princes,H5081 and to make them inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of glory:H3519 for the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the LORD's,H3068 and he has setH7896 the worldH8398 on them. He will keepH8104 the feetH7272 of his saints,H2623 and the wickedH7563 shall be silentH1826 in darkness;H2822 for by strengthH3581 shall noH3808 manH376 prevail.H1396 The adversariesH7378 of the LORDH3068 shall be brokenH2865 to pieces; out of heavenH8064 shall he thunderH7481 on them: the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 the endsH657 of the earth;H776 and he shall giveH5414 strengthH5797 to his king,H4428 and exaltH7311 the hornH7161 of his anointed.H4899 And ElkanahH511 wentH3212 to RamahH7414 to his house.H1004 And the childH5288 didH1961 ministerH8334 to the LORDH3068 beforeH854 H6440 EliH5941 the priest.H3548 Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were sonsH1121 of Belial;H1100 they knewH3045 not the LORD.H3068 And the priest'sH3548 customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, that, when anyH3605 manH376 offeredH2076 sacrifice,H2077 the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 came,H935 while the fleshH1320 was in seething,H1310 with a meat hookH4207 of threeH7969 teethH8127 in his hand;H3027 And he struckH5221 it into the pan,H3595 orH176 kettle,H1731 orH176 caldron,H7037 orH176 pot;H6517 allH3605 that the meat hookH4207 broughtH5927 up the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. SoH3602 they didH6213 in Shiloh H7887to allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 thither.H8033 AlsoH1571 beforeH2962 they burntH6999 the fat,H2459 the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 came,H935 and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificed,H2076 GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priest;H3548 for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of you, but raw.H2416 And if any manH376 saidH559 to him, Let them not fail to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presently,H3117 and then takeH3947 as much as your soulH5315 desires;H8378 then he would answerH559 him, No; but you shall giveH5414 it me now:H3588 H6258 and ifH518 not, I will takeH3947 it by force.H2394 Why the sinH2403 of the youngH5288 men was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH854 H6440 the LORD:H3068 for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORD.H3068 But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH854 H6440 the LORD,H3068 being a child,H5288 girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephod.H646 Moreover his motherH517 madeH6213 him a littleH6996 coat,H4598 and broughtH5927 it to him from yearH3117 to year,H3117 when she cameH5927 up with her husbandH376 to offerH2076 the yearlyH3117 sacrifice.H2077 And EliH5941 blessedH1288 ElkanahH511 and his wife,H802 and said,H559 The LORDH3068 giveH7760 you seedH2233 of thisH2063 womanH802 for the loanH7596 whichH834 is lentH7592 to the LORD.H3068 And they wentH1980 to their own home.H4725 And the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 Hannah,H2584 so that she conceived,H2029 and boreH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughters.H1323 And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1431 beforeH5973 the LORD.H3068 Now EliH5941 was veryH3966 old,H2204 and heardH8085 allH3605 that his sonsH1121 didH6213 to allH3605 Israel;H3478 and howH854 H834 they layH7901 with the womenH802 that assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregation.H4150 And he saidH559 to them, WhyH4100 doH6213 you suchH428 things?H1697 for I hearH8085 of your evilH7451 dealingsH1697 by allH3605 thisH428 people.H5971 No,H408 my sons;H1121 for it is noH3808 goodH2896 reportH8052 that I hear:H8085 you make the LORD'sH3068 peopleH5971 to transgress.H5674 IfH518 one manH376 sinH2398 against another,H376 the judgeH430 shall judgeH6419 him: but ifH518 a manH376 sinH2398 against the LORD,H3068 whoH4310 shall entreatH6419 for him? Notwithstanding they listenedH8085 not to the voiceH6963 of their father,H1 becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 wouldH2654 slayH4191 them. And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1432 on, and was in favorH2896 bothH1571 with the LORD,H3068 and alsoH1571 with men.H582 And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to Eli,H5941 and saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 Did I plainlyH1540 appearH1540 to the houseH1004 of your father,H1 when they were in EgyptH4714 in Pharaoh'sH6547 house?H1004 And did I chooseH977 him out of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priest,H3548 to offerH5927 on my altar,H4196 to burnH6999 incense,H7004 to wearH5375 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 me? and did I giveH5414 to the houseH1004 of your fatherH1 allH3605 the offerings made by fire of the childrenH1121 of Israel?H3478 WhyH4100 kickH1163 you at my sacrificeH2077 and at my offering,H4503 whichH834 I have commandedH6680 in my habitation;H4583 and honorH3513 your sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the most chiefH7225 of allH3605 the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my people?H5971 WhyH3651 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 said,H5002 I saidH559 indeed that your house,H1004 and the houseH1004 of your father,H1 should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me for ever:H5769 but nowH6258 the LORDH3068 said,H5002 Be it farH2486 from me; for them that honorH3513 me I will honor,H3513 and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightlyH7043 esteemed.H7043 Behold,H2009 the daysH3117 come,H935 that I will cutH1438 off your arm,H2220 and the armH2220 of your father'sH1 house,H1004 that there shall not be an oldH2205 man in your house.H1004 And you shall seeH5027 an enemyH6862 in my habitation,H4583 in allH3605 the wealth whichH834 God shall giveH3190 Israel:H3478 and there shall not be an oldH2205 man in your houseH1004 for ever.H3605 H3117 And the manH376 of yours, whom I shall not cutH3772 off from my altar,H4196 shall be to consumeH3615 your eyes,H5869 and to grieveH109 your heart:H5315 and allH3605 the increaseH4768 of your houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flowerH582 of their age.H582 And thisH2088 shall be a signH226 to you, that shall comeH935 on your twoH8147 sons,H1121 onH413 HophniH2652 and Phinehas;H6372 in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 bothH8147 of them. And I will raiseH6965 me up a faithfulH539 priest,H3548 that shall doH6213 according to that whichH834 is in my heartH3824 and in my mind:H5315 and I will buildH1129 him a sureH539 house;H1004 and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 my anointedH4899 for ever.H3605 H3117 And it shall comeH1961 to pass, that everyH3605 one that is leftH3498 in your houseH1004 shall comeH935 and crouchH7812 to him for a pieceH95 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of bread,H3899 and shall say,H559 PutH5596 me, I prayH4994 you, intoH413 oneH259 of the priests'H3550 offices, that I may eatH398 a pieceH6595 of bread.H3899 http://scrbchurch.com/en/component/zefaniabible/reading/ttb/akjv/97.html?Itemid=378?ord=040426#2 http://scrbchurch.com/en/component/zefaniabible/reading/ttb/akjv/97.html?Itemid=378?ord=040426#2 Sat, 04 Apr 26 00:00:00 -0400 To the chiefH5329 Musician,H5329 A SongH7892 or Psalm.H4210 Make a joyful noise to God,H430 allH3605 you lands:H776 SingH2167 forth the honorH3519 of his name:H8034 makeH7760 his praiseH8416 glorious.H3519 SayH559 to God,H430 HowH4100 terribleH3372 are you in your works!H4639 through the greatnessH7230 of your powerH5797 shall your enemiesH341 submitH3584 themselves to you.

GreatG4183 is my boldnessG3954 of speech towardG4314 you, greatG4183 is my gloryingG2746 of you: I am filledG4137 with comfort,G3874 I am exceedingG5248 joyfulG5479 in allG3956 our tribulation.G2347 For, when we were comeG2064 intoG1519 Macedonia,G3109 our fleshG4561 hadG2192 noG3762 rest,G425 but we were troubledG2346 onG1722 everyG3956 side; withoutG1855 were fights,G3163 withinG2081 were fears.G5401 NeverthelessG235 God,G2316 that comfortsG3870 thoseG3588 that are castG5011 down,G5011 comfortedG3870 us by the comingG3952 of Titus;G5103 And not by his comingG3952 only,G3440 but by the consolationG3874 with whichG3739 he was comfortedG3870 in you, when he toldG312 us yourG5216 earnestG1972 desire,G1972 yourG5216 mourning,G3602 yourG5216 ferventG2205 mindG3563 towardG5228 me; soG5620 that I rejoicedG5463 the more.G3123 For thoughG1499 I madeG3076 you sorryG3076 with a letter,G1992 I do not repent,G3338 thoughG1499 I did repent:G3338 for I perceiveG991 that the sameG1565 letterG1992 has madeG3076 you sorry,G3076 thoughG1499 it were but for a season.G5610 NowG3568 I rejoice,G5463 not that you were madeG3076 sorry,G3076 but that you sorrowedG3076 to repentance:G3341 for you were madeG3076 sorryG3076 afterG2596 a godlyG2596 G2316 manner, that you might receiveG2210 damageG2210 by us in nothing.G3367 For godlyG2596 G2316 sorrowG3077 worksG2716 repentanceG3341 to salvationG4991 not to be repentedG278 of: but the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 worksG2716 death.G2288 For beholdG2400 thisG5124 selfsameG846 thing, that you sorrowedG3076 afterG2596 a godlyG2596 G2316 sort, whatG4214 carefulnessG4710 it workedG2716 in you, yes,G235 what clearingG627 of yourselves, yes,G235 what indignation,G24 yes,G235 what fear,G5401 yes,G235 what vehementG1972 desire,G1972 yes,G235 what zeal,G2205 yes,G235 what revenge!G1557 In allG3956 things you have approvedG4921 yourselvesG1438 to be clearG53 in thisG3588 matter.G4229 Why,G686 thoughG1499 I wroteG1125 to you, I did it not for his causeG1752 that had doneG91 the wrong,G91 norG3761 for his causeG1752 that suffered wrong,G91 but that our careG4710 for you in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 might appearG5319 to you. ThereforeG1223 G5124 we were comfortedG3870 in yourG5213 comfort:G3874 yes, and exceedinglyG4056 the moreG3123 joyedG5463 we for the joyG5479 of Titus,G5103 becauseG3754 his spiritG4151 was refreshedG373 by you all.G3956 For ifG1487 I have boastedG2744 anyG1536 thing to him of you, I am not ashamed;G2617 but as we spokeG2980 allG3956 things to you in truth,G225 evenG2532 soG3779 our boasting,G2746 whichG3588 I made beforeG1909 Titus,G5103 is foundG1096 a truth.G225 And his inwardG4698 affectionG4698 is moreG4056 abundantG4056 towardG1519 you, whilst he remembersG363 the obedienceG5218 of you all,G3956 howG5613 with fearG5401 and tremblingG5156 you receivedG1209 him. I rejoiceG5463 therefore that I have confidenceG2292 in you in allG3956 things.
