Bible Comments

Her countenance was no more sad; her heart being cheered by the priest's comfortable words, and especially by God's Spirit setting them home upon her, and assuring her that both his and her prayers should be heard, it quickly appeared in her countenance. Heb. her indignation, or vexation, (as the word face is sometimes understood, as Genesis 32:20 Psalms 21:9, Psalms 34:16) was no more, i.e. it vanished away.

1 Samuel 1:18

18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
