1st Samuel Chapter 2 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And Hannah <H2584> prayed, <H6419> and said, <H0559> My heart <H3820> rejoiceth <H5970> in the LORD, <H3068> mine horn <H7161> is exalted <H7311> in the LORD: <H3068> my mouth <H6310> is enlarged <H7337> over mine enemies; <H0341> because I rejoice <H8055> in thy salvation. <H3444>
2: [There is] none holy <H6918> as the LORD: <H3068> for [there is] none beside <H1115> thee: neither [is there] any rock <H6697> like our God. <H0430>
3: Talk <H1696> no more <H7235> so exceeding <H1364> proudly; <H1364> let [not] arrogancy <H6277> come out <H3318> of your mouth: <H6310> for the LORD <H3068> [is] a God <H0410> of knowledge, <H1844> and by him actions <H5949> are weighed. <H8505>
4: The bows <H7198> of the mighty <H1368> men [are] broken, <H2844> and they that stumbled <H3782> are girded <H0247> with strength. <H2428>
5: [They that were] full <H7649> have hired out <H7936> themselves for bread; <H3899> and [they that were] hungry <H7457> ceased: <H2308> so that the barren <H6135> hath born <H3205> seven; <H7651> and she that hath many <H7227> children <H1121> is waxed feeble. <H0535>
6: The LORD <H3068> killeth, <H4191> and maketh alive: <H2421> he bringeth down <H3381> to the grave, <H7585> and bringeth up. <H5927>
7: The LORD <H3068> maketh poor, <H3423> and maketh rich: <H6238> he bringeth low, <H8213> and <H0637> lifteth up. <H7311>
8: He raiseth up <H6965> the poor <H1800> out of the dust, <H6083> [and] lifteth up <H7311> the beggar <H0034> from the dunghill, <H0830> to set <H3427> [them] among princes, <H5081> and to make them inherit <H5157> the throne <H3678> of glory: <H3519> for the pillars <H4690> of the earth <H0776> [are] the LORD'S, <H3068> and he hath set <H7896> the world <H8398> upon them.
9: He will keep <H8104> the feet <H7272> of his saints, <H2623> and the wicked <H7563> shall be silent <H1826> in darkness; <H2822> for by strength <H3581> shall no man <H0376> prevail. <H1396>
10: The adversaries <H7378> of the LORD <H3068> shall be broken to pieces; <H2865> out of heaven <H8064> shall he thunder <H7481> upon them: the LORD <H3068> shall judge <H1777> the ends <H0657> of the earth; <H0776> and he shall give <H5414> strength <H5797> unto his king, <H4428> and exalt <H7311> the horn <H7161> of his anointed. <H4899>
11: And Elkanah <H0511> went <H3212> to Ramah <H7414> to his house. <H1004> And the child <H5288> did <H1961> minister <H8334> unto the LORD <H3068> before <H6440> Eli <H5941> the priest. <H3548>
12: Now the sons <H1121> of Eli <H5941> [were] sons <H1121> of Belial; <H1100> they knew <H3045> not the LORD. <H3068>
13: And the priests' <H3548> custom <H4941> with the people <H5971> [was, that], when any man <H0376> offered <H2076> sacrifice, <H2077> the priest's <H3548> servant <H5288> came, <H0935> while the flesh <H1320> was in seething, <H1310> with a fleshhook <H4207> of three <H7969> teeth <H8127> in his hand; <H3027>
14: And he struck <H5221> [it] into the pan, <H3595> or kettle, <H1731> or caldron, <H7037> or pot; <H6517> all that the fleshhook <H4207> brought up <H5927> the priest <H3548> took <H3947> for himself. So they did <H6213> in Shiloh <H7887> unto all the Israelites <H3478> that came <H0935> thither.
15: Also before they burnt <H6999> the fat, <H2459> the priest's <H3548> servant <H5288> came, <H0935> and said <H0559> to the man <H0376> that sacrificed, <H2076> Give <H5414> flesh <H1320> to roast <H6740> for the priest; <H3548> for he will not have <H3947> sodden <H1310> flesh <H1320> of thee, but raw. <H2416>
16: And [if] any man <H0376> said <H0559> unto him, Let them not fail <H6999> to burn <H6999> the fat <H2459> presently, <H3117> and [then] take <H3947> [as much] as thy soul <H5315> desireth; <H0183> then he would answer <H0559> him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give <H5414> [it me] now: and if not, I will take <H3947> [it] by force. <H2393>
17: Wherefore the sin <H2403> of the young men <H5288> was very <H3966> great <H1419> before <H6440> the LORD: <H3068> for men <H0582> abhorred <H5006> the offering <H4503> of the LORD. <H3068>
18: But Samuel <H8050> ministered <H8334> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> [being] a child, <H5288> girded <H2296> with a linen <H0906> ephod. <H0646>
19: Moreover his mother <H0517> made <H6213> him a little <H6996> coat, <H4598> and brought <H5927> [it] to him from year <H3117> to year, <H3117> when she came up <H5927> with her husband <H0376> to offer <H2076> the yearly <H3117> sacrifice. <H2077>
20: And Eli <H5941> blessed <H1288> Elkanah <H0511> and his wife, <H0802> and said, <H0559> The LORD <H3068> give <H7760> thee seed <H2233> of this woman <H0802> for the loan <H7596> which is lent <H7592> to the LORD. <H3068> And they went <H1980> unto their own home. <H4725>
21: And <H3588> the LORD <H3068> visited <H6485> Hannah, <H2584> so that she conceived, <H2029> and bare <H3205> three <H7969> sons <H1121> and two <H8147> daughters. <H1323> And the child <H5288> Samuel <H8050> grew <H1431> before <H5973> the LORD. <H3068>
22: Now Eli <H5941> was very <H3966> old, <H2204> and heard <H8085> all that his sons <H1121> did <H6213> unto all Israel; <H3478> and how they lay <H7901> with the women <H0802> that assembled <H6633> [at] the door <H6607> of the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation. <H4150>
23: And he said <H0559> unto them, Why do <H6213> ye such things? <H1697> for I hear <H8085> of your evil <H7451> dealings <H1697> by all this people. <H5971>
24: Nay, my sons; <H1121> for [it is] no good <H2896> report <H8052> that I hear: <H8085> ye make the LORD'S <H3068> people <H5971> to transgress. <H5674>
25: If one man <H0376> sin <H2398> against another, <H0376> the judge <H0430> shall judge <H6419> him: but if a man <H0376> sin <H2398> against the LORD, <H3068> who shall intreat <H6419> for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened <H8085> not unto the voice <H6963> of their father, <H0001> because the LORD <H3068> would <H2654> slay <H4191> them.
26: And the child <H5288> Samuel <H8050> grew <H1432> on, <H1980> and was in favour <H2896> both with the LORD, <H3068> and also with men. <H0582>
27: And there came <H0935> a man <H0376> of God <H0430> unto Eli, <H5941> and said <H0559> unto him, Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> Did I plainly <H1540> appear <H1540> unto the house <H1004> of thy father, <H0001> when they were in Egypt <H4714> in Pharaoh's <H6547> house? <H1004>
28: And did I choose <H0977> him out of all the tribes <H7626> of Israel <H3478> [to be] my priest, <H3548> to offer <H5927> upon mine altar, <H4196> to burn <H6999> incense, <H7004> to wear <H5375> an ephod <H0646> before <H6440> me? and did I give <H5414> unto the house <H1004> of thy father <H0001> all the offerings made by fire <H0801> of the children <H1121> of Israel? <H3478>
29: Wherefore kick <H1163> ye at my sacrifice <H2077> and at mine offering, <H4503> which I have commanded <H6680> [in my] habitation; <H4583> and honourest <H3513> thy sons <H1121> above me, to make yourselves fat <H1254> with the chiefest <H7225> of all the offerings <H4503> of Israel <H3478> my people? <H5971>
30: Wherefore the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> saith, <H5002> I said <H0559> indeed <H0559> [that] thy house, <H1004> and the house <H1004> of thy father, <H0001> should walk <H1980> before <H6440> me for <H5704> ever: <H5769> but now the LORD <H3068> saith, <H5002> Be it far <H2486> from me; for them that honour <H3513> me I will honour, <H3513> and they that despise <H0959> me shall be lightly esteemed. <H7043>
31: Behold, the days <H3117> come, <H0935> that I will cut off <H1438> thine arm, <H2220> and the arm <H2220> of thy father's <H0001> house, <H1004> that there shall not be an old man <H2205> in thine house. <H1004>
32: And thou shalt see <H5027> an enemy <H6862> [in my] habitation, <H4583> in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give <H3190> Israel: <H3478> and there shall not be an old man <H2205> in thine house <H1004> for ever. <H3605> <H3117>
33: And the man <H0376> of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off <H3772> from mine altar, <H4196> [shall be] to consume <H3615> thine eyes, <H5869> and to grieve <H0109> thine heart: <H5315> and all the increase <H4768> of thine house <H1004> shall die <H4191> in the flower of their age. <H0582>
34: And this [shall be] a sign <H0226> unto thee, that shall come <H0935> upon thy two <H8147> sons, <H1121> on Hophni <H2652> and Phinehas; <H6372> in one <H0259> day <H3117> they shall die <H4191> both <H8147> of them.
35: And I will raise me up <H6965> a faithful <H0539> priest, <H3548> [that] shall do <H6213> according to [that] which [is] in mine heart <H3824> and in my mind: <H5315> and I will build <H1129> him a sure <H0539> house; <H1004> and he shall walk <H1980> before <H6440> mine anointed <H4899> for ever. <H3605> <H3117>
36: And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left <H3498> in thine house <H1004> shall come <H0935> [and] crouch <H7812> to him for a piece <H0095> of silver <H3701> and a morsel <H3603> of bread, <H3899> and shall say, <H0559> Put <H5596> me, I pray thee, into one <H0259> of the priests' offices, <H3550> that I may eat <H0398> a piece <H6595> of bread. <H3899>
