Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Eli blessed Elkanah - The natural place of this verse seems to be before the 11th; after which the 21st should come in; after the 21st, perhaps the 26th should come in. The subjects in this chapter seem very much entangled and confused by the wrong position of the verses.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

As when Abraham had offered Isaac he received the promise of a numerous issue ( Gen. xxii. 16, 17 ), so did Hannah, when she had presented Samuel unto the Lord a living sacrifice. Note, What is lent to the Lord will certainly be repaid with interest, to our unspeakable advantage, and oftentimes in kind.
