1 Samuel 2:21 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Visited, to wit, in mercy, and with his blessing, as that word is used, Genesis 21:1 Exodus 13:19 Jeremiah 15:15; not in anger, as it is taken Exodus 32:34 Leviticus 26:16. Grew; not only in age and stature, but especially in wisdom and goodness, as Luke 1:15. Or, was magnified; or grew great, famous and acceptable, as 1 Samuel 2:26. Before the Lord; not only before men, who might be deceived, but in the presence and judgment of the all-seeing God.

1 Samuel 2:21

21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
