I Samuel 2 (kjv)

And Hannah^H2584 prayed^H6419, and said^H559, 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^H341; because I rejoice^H8055 in thy salvation^H3444.²There is none holy^H6918 as the LORD^H3068: for there is none beside^H1115 thee: neither is there any rock^H6697 like our God^H430.³Talk^H1696 no more^H7235 so exceeding^H1364 proudly^H1364; let not arrogancy^H6277 come^H3318 out of your mouth^H6310: for the LORD^H3068 is a God^H410 of knowledge^H1844, and by him actions^H5949 are weighed^H8505.⁴The bows^H7198 of the mighty men^H1368 are broken^H2844, and they that stumbled^H3782 are girded^H247 with strength^H2428.⁵They 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^H535.⁶The LORD^H3068 killeth^H4191, and maketh alive^H2421: he bringeth down^H3381 to the grave^H7585, and bringeth up^H5927.⁷The LORD^H3068 maketh poor^H3423, and maketh rich^H6238: he bringeth low^H8213, and^H637 lifteth up^H7311.⁸He raiseth up^H6965 the poor^H1800 out of the dust^H6083, and lifteth up^H7311 the beggar^H34 from the dunghill^H830, 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^H776 are the LORD'S^H3068, and he hath set^H7896 the world^H8398 upon them.⁹He 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^H376 prevail^H1396.¹⁰The 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^H657 of the earth^H776; and he shall give^H5414 strength^H5797 unto his king^H4428, and exalt^H7311 the horn^H7161 of his anointed^H4899.¹¹And Elkanah^H511 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.

¹²Now the sons^H1121 of Eli^H5941 were sons^H1121 of Belial^H1100; they knew^H3045 not the LORD^H3068.¹³And the priests^H3548' custom^H4941 with the people^H5971 was, that, when any man^H376 offered^H2076 sacrifice^H2077, the priest's^H3548 servant^H5288 came^H935, while the flesh^H1320 was in seething^H1310, with a fleshhook^H4207 of three^H7969 teeth^H8127 in his hand^H3027;¹⁴And 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^H935 thither.¹⁵Also before they burnt^H6999 the fat^H2459, the priest's^H3548 servant^H5288 came^H935, and said^H559 to the man^H376 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^H2416.¹⁶And if any man^H376 said^H559 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^H183; then he would answer^H559 him, Nay; but thou shalt give^H5414 it me now: and if not, I will take^H3947 it by force^H2394.¹⁷Wherefore the sin^H2403 of the young men^H5288 was very^H3966 great^H1419 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068: for men^H582 abhorred^H5006 the offering^H4503 of the LORD^H3068.

¹⁸But Samuel^H8050 ministered^H8334 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068, being a child^H5288, girded^H2296 with a linen^H906 ephod^H646.¹⁹Moreover his mother^H517 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^H376 to offer^H2076 the yearly^H3117 sacrifice^H2077.

²⁰And Eli^H5941 blessed^H1288 Elkanah^H511 and his wife^H802, and said^H559, The LORD^H3068 give^H7760 thee seed^H2233 of this woman^H802 for the loan^H7596 which is lent^H7592 to the LORD^H3068. And they went^H1980 unto their own home^H4725.²¹And^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.

²²Now 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^H802 that assembled^H6633 at the door^H6607 of the tabernacle^H168 of the congregation^H4150.²³And he said^H559 unto them, Why do^H6213 ye such things^H1697? for I hear^H8085 of your evil^H7451 dealings^H1697 by all this people^H5971.²⁴Nay, 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^H5674.²⁵If one man^H376 sin^H2398 against another^H376, the judge^H430 shall judge^H6419 him: but if a man^H376 sin^H2398 against the LORD^H3068, who shall intreat^H6419 for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened^H8085 not unto the voice^H6963 of their father^H1, because the LORD^H3068 would^H2654 slay^H4191 them.²⁶And the child^H5288 Samuel^H8050 grew^H1432 on^H1980, and was in favour^H2896 both with the LORD^H3068, and also with men^H582.

²⁷And there came^H935 a man^H376 of God^H430 unto Eli^H5941, and said^H559 unto him, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, Did I plainly^H1540 appear^H1540 unto the house^H1004 of thy father^H1, when they were in Egypt^H4714 in Pharaoh's^H6547 house^H1004?²⁸And did I choose^H977 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^H646 before^H6440 me? and did I give^H5414 unto the house^H1004 of thy father^H1 all the offerings made by fire^H801 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478?²⁹Wherefore 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?³⁰Wherefore the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 saith^H5002, I said^H559 indeed^H559 that thy house^H1004, and the house^H1004 of thy father^H1, should walk^H1980 before^H6440 me for^H5704 ever^H5769: but now the LORD^H3068 saith^H5002, Be it far from me^H2486; for them that honour^H3513 me I will honour^H3513, and they that despise^H959 me shall be lightly esteemed^H7043.³¹Behold, the days^H3117 come^H935, that I will cut off^H1438 thine arm^H2220, and the arm^H2220 of thy father's^H1 house^H1004, that there shall not be an old man^H2205 in thine house^H1004.³²And 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^H3117.³³And the man^H376 of thine, whom I shall not cut off^H3772 from mine altar^H4196, shall be to consume^H3615 thine eyes^H5869, and to grieve^H109 thine heart^H5315: and all the increase^H4768 of thine house^H1004 shall die^H4191 in the flower of their age^H582.³⁴And this shall be a sign^H226 unto thee, that shall come^H935 upon thy two^H8147 sons^H1121, on Hophni^H2652 and Phinehas^H6372; in one^H259 day^H3117 they shall die^H4191 both^H8147 of them.³⁵And I will raise me up^H6965 a faithful^H539 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^H539 house^H1004; and he shall walk^H1980 before^H6440 mine anointed^H4899 for ever^H3117.³⁶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left^H3498 in thine house^H1004 shall come^H935 and crouch^H7812 to him for a piece^H95 of silver^H3701 and a morsel^H3603 of bread^H3899, and shall say^H559, Put^H5596 me, I pray thee, into one^H259 of the priests' offices^H3550, that I may eat^H398 a piece^H6595 of bread^H3899.
