1 Samuel 1
Eli
and his sons, and Hannah's answered prayer
We find then, in the
beginning of this book, priesthood existing before God in
the original form we have mentioned. Eli, pious himself,
and fearing God, maintained no order in the priestly
family. The priesthood, instead of binding the people to
God, morally separated them. Hophni and Phinehas, the
sons of Eli, were at Shiloh; but their conduct made the
offering of the Lord to be abhorred of the people. Such
was the state of things in Israel. At the same time, in
the family of Elkanah, Hannah, chosen of Jehovah for
blessing, was in trial; the desires of her natural heart
were not satisfied, and the adversary tormented her by
means of the prosperous Peninnah. But He, whose strength
is perfected in weakness, having made manifest (as ever
in such a case) the powerlessness of nature, gives
blessing according to His own will, against all hope, in
order that that which was of Him should be evidently
wrought by His own power. Hannah has a son according to
her petition, a son devoted to the Lord. His family was
of the tribe of Levi (1 Chron. 6).
