Chapter 2, And Hannah prayed and said,

00:30.500 --> 00:35.460
The bows of the mighty men are broken,
and they that stumbled are girded with

00:35.460 --> 00:35.920
strength.

00:36.460 --> 00:40.480
They that were full have hired out
themselves for bread, and they that were

00:40.480 --> 00:45.460
hungry ceased, so that the barren hath
borne seven, and she that hath many

00:45.460 --> 00:46.920
children is waxed feeble.

00:48.080 --> 00:50.480
The Lord killeth, and maketh alive.

00:50.960 --> 00:53.380
He bringeth down to the grave,
and bringeth up.

00:53.880 --> 00:56.380
The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich.

00:56.780 --> 00:58.860
He bringeth low, and lifteth up.

00:59.460 --> 01:04.360
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
and lifteth up the beggar from the

01:04.360 --> 01:08.760
dunghill, to set them among princes,
and to make them inherit the throne of

01:08.760 --> 01:09.200
glory.

01:09.900 --> 01:14.320
For the pillars of the earth are the
Lord's, and He hath set the world upon

01:14.320 --> 01:14.580
them.

01:15.320 --> 01:19.140
He will keep the feet of His saints,
and the wicked shall be silent in

01:19.140 --> 01:22.320
darkness, for by strength shall no man
prevail.

01:23.220 --> 01:25.960
The adversaries of the Lord shall be
broken to pieces.

01:25.960 --> 01:28.980
Out of heaven shall He thunder upon them.

01:29.600 --> 01:34.180
The Lord shall judge the ends of the
earth, and He shall give strength unto His

01:34.180 --> 01:36.860
king, and exalt the horn of His anointed.

01:37.240 --> 01:41.400
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house,
and the child did minister unto the Lord

01:41.400 --> 01:42.700
before Eli the priest.

01:43.420 --> 01:47.140
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial,
they knew not the Lord.

01:47.660 --> 01:51.180
And the priest's custom with the people
was, that when any man offered sacrifice,

01:51.700 --> 01:55.680
the priest's servant came, while the flesh
was in seething, with a flesh hook of

01:55.680 --> 01:56.840
three teeth in his hand.

01:57.340 --> 02:00.380
And he struck it into the pan,
or kettle, or cauldron, or pot.

02:00.720 --> 02:03.540
All that the flesh hook brought up,
the priest took for himself.

02:04.300 --> 02:07.240
So they did in Shiloh unto all the
Israelites that came thither.

02:07.920 --> 02:11.380
Also before they burnt the fat,
the priest's servant came, and said to the

02:11.380 --> 02:15.600
man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast
for the priest, for he will not have

02:15.600 --> 02:17.460
sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

02:17.700 --> 02:21.300
And if any man said unto him, Let them not
fail to burn the fat presently,

02:21.360 --> 02:23.160
and then take as much as thy soul
desireth.

02:23.160 --> 02:26.280
Then he would answer him, Nay,
but thou shalt give it me now,

02:26.880 --> 02:29.040
and if not, I will take it by force.

02:29.380 --> 02:33.300
Wherefore the sin of the young men was
very great before the Lord, for men

02:33.300 --> 02:34.960
abhorred the offering of the Lord.

02:35.680 --> 02:40.040
But Samuel ministered before the Lord,
being a child girded with the linen ephod.

02:40.660 --> 02:44.040
Moreover his mother made him a little
coat, and brought it to him from year to

02:44.040 --> 02:46.740
year, when she came up with her husband to
offer the yearly sacrifice.

02:47.600 --> 02:52.220
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife,
and said, The Lord give thee seed of this

02:52.220 --> 02:54.760
woman, for the loan which is lent to the
Lord.

02:55.080 --> 02:56.480
And they went unto their own home.

02:57.000 --> 03:01.100
And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she
conceived and bare three sons and two

03:01.100 --> 03:01.380
daughters.

03:01.840 --> 03:04.080
And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.

03:04.980 --> 03:09.880
Now Eli was very old, and heard all that
his sons did unto all Israel, and how they

03:09.880 --> 03:12.400
lay with the women that assembled at the
door of the tabernacle of the

03:12.400 --> 03:12.820
congregation.

03:13.420 --> 03:16.420
And he said unto them, Why do ye such
things?

03:16.420 --> 03:20.040
For I hear of your evil dealings by all
this people.

03:20.940 --> 03:24.500
Nay, my sons, for it is no good report
that I hear.

03:25.000 --> 03:27.360
Ye make the Lord's people to transgress.

03:28.120 --> 03:32.400
If one man sin against another,
the judge shall judge him.

03:33.000 --> 03:37.540
But if a man sin against the Lord,
who shall entreat for him?

03:37.960 --> 03:41.380
Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto
the voice of their father, because the

03:41.380 --> 03:42.460
Lord would slay them.

03:42.840 --> 03:47.620
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in
favor both with the Lord, and also with

03:47.620 --> 03:47.920
men.

03:48.600 --> 03:53.520
And there came a man of God unto Eli,
and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord,

03:54.200 --> 03:58.420
Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy
father when they were in Egypt in

03:58.420 --> 03:59.120
Pharaoh's house?

03:59.800 --> 04:05.080
And did I choose him out of all the tribes
of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon

04:05.080 --> 04:08.900
mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an
ephod before me?

04:09.360 --> 04:14.420
And did I give unto the house of thy
father all the offerings made by fire of

04:14.420 --> 04:15.440
the children of Israel?

04:16.540 --> 04:21.640
Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at
mine offering, which I have commanded in

04:21.640 --> 04:26.920
my habitation, and honorest thy sons above
me, to make yourselves fat with the

04:26.920 --> 04:29.800
chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my
people?

04:30.880 --> 04:37.160
Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith,
I said indeed that thy house and the house

04:37.160 --> 04:39.520
of thy father should walk before me
forever.

04:40.120 --> 04:45.980
But now the Lord saith, Be it far from me,
for them that honor me I will honor,

04:46.520 --> 04:49.760
and they that despise me shall be lightly
esteemed.

04:50.860 --> 04:56.340
Behold, the days come that I will cut off
thine arm and the arm of thy father's

04:56.340 --> 05:01.360
house, that there shall not be an old man
in thine house, and thou shalt see an

05:01.360 --> 05:06.720
enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth
which God shall give Israel, and there

05:06.720 --> 05:09.200
shall not be an old man in thine house
forever.

05:10.420 --> 05:15.880
And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut
off from mine altar, shall be to consume

05:15.880 --> 05:20.980
thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart,
and all the increase of thine house shall

05:20.980 --> 05:22.880
die in the flower of their age.

05:23.900 --> 05:28.660
And this shall be a sign unto thee,
that shall come upon thy two sons,

05:29.460 --> 05:34.240
on Hophni and Phinehas, in one day they
shall die, both of them.

05:34.860 --> 05:40.260
And I will raise me up a faithful priest,
that shall do according to that which is

05:40.260 --> 05:46.580
in mine heart and in my mind, and I will
build him a sure house, and he shall walk

05:46.580 --> 05:48.340
before mine anointed forever.

05:49.620 --> 05:55.100
And it shall come to pass, that every one
that is left in thine house shall come and

05:55.100 --> 06:00.580
crouch to him for a piece of silver and a
morsel of bread, and shall say,

06:01.080 --> 06:06.760
Put me, I pray thee, into one of the
priest's offices, that I may eat a piece

06:06.760 --> 06:07.260
of bread.
