1 Samuel 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 holy ^H6918 like the LORD ^H3068,

Indeed ^H3588, there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 besides ^H1115 You,

Nor ^H369 is ^H369 there ^H369 any rock ^H6697 like our God ^H430.

“Do not go on [fn]boasting ^H1696 H7235 so very ^H1364 proudly ^H1364,

Do not let arrogance ^H6277 come ^H3318 out ^H3318 of your mouth ^H6310;

For the LORD ^H3068 is a God ^H410 of knowledge ^H1844,

And [fn]with Him actions ^H5949 are weighed ^H8505.

“The bows ^H7198 of the mighty ^H1368 are broken ^H2844 to ^H2844 pieces ^H2844,

But those who have stumbled ^H3782 strap ^H247 on ^H247 strength ^H2428.

“Those who were full ^H7649 hire ^H7936 themselves out ^H7936 for bread ^H3899,

But those who were hungry ^H7457 cease ^H2308 to be hungry.

Even ^H5704 the infertile ^H6135 woman ^H6135 gives ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to seven ^H7651,

But she who has many ^H7227 children ^H1121 languishes ^H535.

“The LORD ^H3068 puts ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191 and makes ^H2421 alive ^H2421;

He brings ^H3381 down ^H3381 to [fn]Sheol ^H7585 and brings ^H5927 up ^H5927.

“The LORD ^H3068 makes ^H3423 poor ^H3423 and rich ^H6238;

He humbles ^H8213, He also ^H637 exalts ^H7311.

“He raises ^H6965 the poor ^H1800 from the dust ^H6083,

He lifts ^H7311 the needy ^H34 from the garbage ^H830 heap ^H6083

To seat ^H3427 them with nobles ^H5081,

And He gives ^H5157 them a seat ^H3678 of honor ^H3519 as ^H5157 an ^H5157 inheritance ^H5157;

For the pillars ^H4690 of the earth ^H776 are the LORD’S ^H3068,

And He set ^H7896 the world ^H8398 on them.

“He watches ^H8104 over ^H8104 the feet ^H7272 of His godly ^H2623 ones ^H2623,

But the wicked ^H7563 ones ^H7563 are ^H1826 silenced ^H1826 in darkness ^H2822;

For not by might ^H3581 shall a person ^H376 prevail ^H1396.

“Those who contend ^H7378 with the LORD ^H3068 will be terrified ^H2865;

Against ^H5921 them He will thunder ^H7481 in the heavens ^H8064,

The LORD ^H3068 will judge ^H1777 the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776;

And He will give ^H5414 strength ^H5797 to His king ^H4428,

And will exalt ^H7311 the [fn]horn ^H7161 of His anointed ^H4899.”

Then Elkanah ^H511 went ^H1980 to his home ^H1004 at Ramah ^H7414. But the boy ^H5288 continued ^H1961 to attend ^H8334 to ^H8334 the service ^H8334 of the LORD ^H3068 before ^H6440 Eli ^H5941 the priest ^H3548.

Now the sons ^H1121 of Eli ^H5941 were [fn]useless ^H1100 men ^H1121; they did not know ^H3045 the LORD ^H3068.

Now Samuel ^H8050 was ministering ^H8334 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068, as a boy ^H5288 wearing ^H2296 a linen ^H906 ephod ^H646.

[fn]The LORD ^H3068 indeed ^H3588 visited ^H6485 Hannah ^H2584, and she conceived ^H2029 and gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to three ^H7969 sons ^H1121 and two ^H8147 daughters ^H1323. And the boy ^H5288 Samuel ^H8050 grew ^H1431 up ^H1431 [fn]before ^H5973 the LORD ^H3068.

Now Eli ^H5941 was ^H2204 very ^H3966 old ^H2204; and he heard ^H8085 about everything ^H3605 that his sons ^H1121 were doing ^H6213 to all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478, and that they slept ^H7901 with the women ^H802 who served ^H6633 at the doorway ^H6607 of the tent ^H168 of meeting ^H4150.

Now the boy ^H5288 Samuel ^H8050 was continuing ^H1980 to grow ^H1432 and to be in favor ^H2896 both ^H1571 with the LORD ^H3068 and with people ^H376.

Then a man ^H376 of God ^H430 came ^H935 to Eli ^H5941 and said ^H559 to him, “This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: ‘Did I not indeed ^H1540 reveal ^H1540 Myself to the house ^H1004 of your father ^H1 when they were in Egypt ^H4714 in bondage to Pharaoh’s ^H6547 house ^H1004?
