1 Samuel 2:5 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
Ver. 5. And they that were hungry ceased.] Nimirum famelici esse, to be still hungry; they were "filled with good things," as Luke 1:53 .
Is waxed feeble.] Weak for prolification; or having luctuosam faecunditatem, as Jerome saith of Laeta, who had born many children, but with this she had buried them.
