Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. They that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them. Whatever solid thing it is that bears up the frame of this natural world, it is God’s power that doth support...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; What an awful picture that is of the doom of the wicked, “Silent in darkness.” We read of the one, in the parable of our Lord, who had not on the wedding garment, that he was speechless; and, at the last the wicked will have nothing to say, nothing with which to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. That is the song of this happy woman; and if we read the last three verses of Psalms 113, we...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. What a very dreadful thing it was that these sons of a man of God, the sons of God’s high priest, were not themselves sons of God, but sons of Belial, foul-hearted, foul-mouthed, foul-living men, who knew not the very God at whose altar they served, and in whose house they lived!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the...

Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD. They not only grieved God, but they also grieved his people so much that they ceased to come where their consciences were wounded, and where their tenderest sensibilities were perpetually shocked.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD. It is horrible when those who should make God great among men cause his service to be despised and abhorred. When those who should be the friends and servants of God act like his enemies, it is indeed terrible.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. What a contrast there was between little Samuel and the sons of Eli! He was not led astray by the evil example of those who were older than himself, and to whom he would naturally look up because of their high office. This dear child escaped contamination because...

But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now Eli was very old, and heard as his sons did unto all Israel and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil doings by all this people, Nay my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD’S people to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them. They had gone so far in their sin that the Lord permitted them to go further still, and to bring punishment upon themselves for their evil deeds.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them. They had gone so far in vice and gin that the Lord did not mean to forgive them. They had transgressed so foully that he would...
