I Samuel Chapter 2 Gives Early Revelations

Verse 2 Keep An Eye – None As Holy And None Besides You

Unconsciously you are arrogant.

In what way? You might ask.

*Knowing Jesus and the Trinity or Triune G-d or 3-in-1 G-d is false! Yet you continue and insist.

Your deeds are being taken into account; worst with those who teach and spread them!

“Hannah’s Song of Prayer”
“Samuel’s Youth”
“Prophecy of Judgment Against Eli with His Sons”

Then Hannah prayed and said: My heart exults is Hashem, my pride has been raised through Hashem; my mouth is opened wide against my antagonists, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
2:1
There is none as holy as Hashem, for there is none besides You, and there is no Rock like our God.
2:2
Do not abound in speaking with arrogance upon arrogance, let not haughtiness come from your mouth; for Hashem is the God of thoughts, and [men’s] deeds are accounted by Him.
2:3
Hashem impoverishes and makes rich, He humbles and He elevates.
:7
He guards the steps of his devout ones, but the wicked are stilled in darkness; for not through strength does man prevail.
:9
The sons of Eli were lawless men; they did not recognize Hashem.
:12
If man sins against man, a judge tries him; but if he sins against Hashem, who can speak in his defense?” …
:25
But the boy Samuel kept growing and improving, both with Hashem and with people.
:26
A man of God came to Eli and said to him: Thus said Hashem, “Did I not appear to your ancestor’s family when they were in Egypt [enslaved] to the house of Pharaoh,
:27
Why do you scorn My sacrifice and My meal-offering which I have commanded [to be brought in My] dwelling place, and you honor your sons more than Me, …
:29
Therefore, [this is] the word of Hashem, God of Israel: “I had indeed said that your family and your father’s family would walk before Me forever — but now,” — the word of Hashem — “far be it from Me [to do so]; for I honor those who honor Me, and those that scorn Me will be accursed.
:30
This [will be] the sign for you: that which will befall your two sons, Hopni and Phinehas — they will both die on the same day.
:34
And I will appoint for Myself a faithful Kohen, who will do as is in My heart and in My desire, and I will build for him a faithful house, and he will walk before My anointed one all the days.
:35

1 And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart has rejoiced through the Lord; My horn has been raised by the Lord. My mouth is opened wide against my enemies, For I have rejoiced in Your salvation.
2 There is none as holy as the Lord, For there is none besides You; And there is no rock like our God.
3 Do not increasingly speak haughtily; Let not arrogance come out of your mouth, For the Lord is a God of thoughts, And to Him are deeds counted.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken; And those who stumbled, are girded with strength.
5 Those who were satiated have hired themselves out for bread, While the hungry have ceased. While the barren woman has born seven, She that had many children, has been bereaved.
6 The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and raises up.
7 The Lord impoverishes and makes rich. He humbles; He also exalts.
8 He lifts the poor from the dust; From the dunghill, He raises the pauper, To seat them with princes, And a seat of honor He causes them to inherit, For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He placed the world upon them.
9 The feet of His pious ones He will guard, And the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, For not by strength will man prevail.
10 Those who strive with the Lord will be broken; Upon him will He thunder in Heaven; The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. And He will grant strength to His King, And raise the horn of His anointed one.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house, and the child was serving the Lord before Eli the priest.
12 And Eli’s sons, unscrupulous men, knew not the Lord.
13 And this was the due of the priests from the people: (whenever) any man would slaughter a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come when (one) cooked the flesh, with a three-pronged fork in his hand.
14 And he would thrust into the fire-pot, or into the pot, or into the cauldron, or into the pan, everything which the fork would pick up, the priest would take therewith; so would they do to all Israel who came there in Shiloh.
15 Also, before they would make the fat smoke, and the servant of the priest would come, and would say to the man who slaughtered, ‘Give meat to roast for the priest, and he will not take from you cooked meat, but raw.
16 And (if) the man said to him, ‘Let them make the fat smoke now, and (then) take for yourself, as your soul desires,’ And he would say, ‘No, but now you shall give. And if not, I shall take by force.’
17 And the sin of the lads was great before the Lord, for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
18 And Samuel was serving before the Lord, being a lad girded with a linen robe.
19 And a small robe his mother would make for him, and she would bring it up to him from appointed time to appointed time, when she ascended with her husband, to slaughter the sacrifice of the (festive) days.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and he would say, “May the Lord grant you seed from this woman,” because of the request which he had requested of the Lord, and they would go to his place.
21 For the Lord remembered Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up with the Lord.
22 Now, Eli had become very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they would lie with the women who congregated at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
23 And he said to them: “Why do you do the likes of these things, for I hear evil reports about you, from all these people.
24 No, my sons, for the rumor which I hear the Lord’s people spreading, is not good.
25 If man will sin to man, the judge will judge him. If, however, he will sin against God, who will intercede in the judgment in his behalf?” But they would not hearken to their father’s voice, for the Lord desired to kill them.
26 And the lad, Samuel, was growing up, and bettering himself both with the Lord and with people.
27 And a man of God came to Eli, and he said to him: “So said the Lord: ‘Did I appear to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt, (enslaved) to the house of Pharaoh?
28 And did I choose him from all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer up (sacrifices) on My altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before Me? And did I give to the house of your father all the fire-offerings of the children of Israel?
29 Why (then,) do you kick at My sacrifice, and at My meal offering which I commanded in My dwelling place, and you honored your sons above Me, before My people, to feed yourselves from the first part of every offering of Israel?
30 Therefore,” says the Lord, God of Israel, “I said, ‘Your house and the house of your father will walk before Me forever,’ but now, says the Lord: Far be it from Me, for those who honor Me shall I honor, and those who despise Me will be disgraced.
31 Behold days are coming when I shall cut off your arm and the arm of your father’s house, that there shall not be an elder in your household.
32 And you will look upon a rival (in My) dwelling place in all (the days) which (God) will do good to Israel, and there will not be an elder in your household all of the days.
33 Yet every man of yours shall I not cut off from My altar, to disappoint you and to sadden your heart; and all those raised in your house will die as young men.
34 And this is the sign to you, that which will befall your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas; in one day both of them will die.
35 And I shall raise up for Myself a faithful priest, who will do as is in My heart and in My mind, and I shall build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before My anointed all of the days.
36 And it will be that everyone who is left in your house, will come to prostrate himself before him for a silver piece and a morsel of bread, and will say, “Take me now into one of the priestly divisions in order to eat a morsel of bread.”

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
