bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Ephod - A garment used in God's service, and allowed not only to the inferior priests and Levites but also to eminent persons of the people, and therefore to Samuel, who, though no Levite, was a Nazarite, from his birth."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"Aware that he could not yet render any useful service to the tabernacle, she undertook the expense of supplying him with wearing apparel. All weaving stuffs, manufacture of cloth, and making of suits were anciently the employment of women."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26, The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the Revised Common Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan, Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church, Melbourne, Australia.
bullet"...Luke's faithful use of Samuel's story to frame his picture of the boyhood of Jesus says clearly that the boy Jesus also needed to grow in his understanding of God. How much more do his disciples in every age need to put on 'a bigger robe of learning' throughout life, as they continue to grow - in favour both with God and humanity."
bullet 1 Sam 2:18-26, Commentary, Background, Insights from Literary Structure, Theological Message, Ways to Present the Text. Anna Grant-Henderson, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26, Studies on Old Testament texts from Series C, Ralph W. Klein, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.
bullet Kairos CoMotion Lectionary Discussion, 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26, "A place of conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."
bullet"After announcements of good-will to all we find we are back in a patriarchal setting where one benefits from another's passion and insight. Elkanah is repaid by what Hannah bore - gifts and children. And Hannah's payment is the pleasure of the bearing?"
bullet "A Word and a Calling," Susan B.W. Johnson, The Christian Century, 1997.
bullet"Cyril wrote his prebaptismal lesson for his catechumens, whom he called 'photizomenoi' (those being enlightened). He vividly describes the assurance with which the word of the Lord works -- even on those who know but do not yet know."
bullet"Samuel and the Sons of Belial (1 Samuel 2:11-36)," by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"If I read 1 Samuel 2:19 in light of the teaching of the Law on the priest’s garments, then Hannah is not just sewing clothes for her little boy, she is sewing priestly garments for him. Can’t you just hear Hannah speaking to Samuel about the dignity and duties of the Levitical priests? Can’t you see her instructing him about the high calling of his task and what the priestly garments are intended to convey?"
