1 Samuel 1:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

She was in bitterness of soul Oppressed with grief, which returned when she was alone, and thought of her barrenness, which made her pray, with many tears, for a child. They had newly offered their peace- offerings, to obtain the favour of God; and in token of their communion with him, they had feasted upon the sacrifice: and now it was proper to put up her prayer, in virtue of the sacrifice. For the peace-offerings typified Christ's mediation, as well as the sin-offerings: since by this not only atonement is made for sin, but an answer to our prayers obtained.

1 Samuel 1:10

10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
