Ver. 4. The bows of the mighty men are broken,] i.e., The bows of Peninnah and her children, who did shoot reproachful words at Hannah. Some gather hence that Peninnah bore no more children, but lost those she had, as 1 Samuel 2:5 .

They that stumbled.] To the same sense singeth the holy Virgin in Luk 1:46-55

1 Samuel 2:4

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
