Commentary for 1 Samuel 1:19
1 Samuel 1:19 is part of the narrative that introduces the prophet Samuel, one of the most significant figures in the Hebrew Bible. The verse is set within the historical context of the period of the judges, a time marked by religious and moral decline in Israel, where "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25). The verse continues the story of Elkanah, a Levite, and his two wives, Peninnah and Hannah.
The themes present in this verse include faithfulness, divine intervention, and the importance of worship and prayer. Elkanah and Hannah demonstrate their devotion by rising early to worship the Lord at the tabernacle in Shiloh. This act of worship is particularly poignant given the personal struggle Hannah faces with her barrenness, which is a significant issue in the ancient Near Eastern context where children are seen as a blessing from God.
The verse also highlights the intimate nature of the relationship between God and His faithful followers. The phrase "the LORD remembered her" is a turning point in Hannah's story; it signifies God's attentiveness to her deep anguish and unwavering prayers for a child. This divine remembrance is a biblical motif indicating that God is actively involved in the lives of individuals, often in response to their faith and prayers.
In the broader narrative, this verse sets the stage for the birth and dedication of Samuel, who will grow up to be a priest, a prophet, and the last judge of Israel, anointing the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David. Hannah's faith and God's response foreshadow the significant role her son will play in Israel's history, emphasizing the themes of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His purposes through the lives of the faithful.
