I Samuel 2 (1 Samuel 2:17)

📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Hannah prayed a song of thanksgiving praising the LORD who exalts the humble and brings down the proud, while Eli's sons Hophni and Phinehas corrupted the priesthood through greed and immorality. A man of God warned Eli that because he honored his sons above the LORD, judgment would fall on his house and both sons would die in one day.

(1) And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
