1 Samuel 2:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Killeth, and maketh alive; either,

1. Diverse persons; he killeth one, and maketh another alive. Or,

2. The same person whom he first killeth, or bringeth very nigh unto death, he afterwards raiseth to life. Me, who was almost overwhelmed and consumed with grief, he hath revived. The name of death, both in sacred Scripture and profane writers, is oft given to great calamities; as Isaiah 26:19 Ezekiel 37:11 Romans 8:36.

1 Samuel 2:6

6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
