Скачать или смотреть I Samuel Chapter 2 English

A magnificent transition of leadership from Eli's sons to Samuel is pictured in this chapter. It also recounts the Song of Hannah, the corruption of the priests descended from Eli, Samuel's ministry to God 'even as a child' and the prophecy of a "man of God" against Eli's household.

In this chapter, two strands of narrative run side by side. One tells of the growth and progress of Samuel and the other reports the sins and wickedness of Eli’s sons and forecasts their punishment. It is thus clear that the author wants Samuel’s success to be set up over the ruin of Eli’s house .

The chapter concludes with the doom prophesied on Eli and his household.
