Read 1 Samuel 2.1-10. In 2.1-10: The song of Hannah. This is a psalm of thanksgiving for a national victory that has been placed in Hannah's mouth. In verse 1: Strength, literally, "horn," seems to make use of the image of a proud animal. In verse 5: The barren has borne seven: This line probably led to the psalm's insertion. Hannah had only six children (2.21). In verse 6: Sheol was the place of the dead, the under world. In verse 10: The reference to his king shows that the psalm was written later than Hannah since there was not king of Israel yet in her time. Anointed, (Heb., "mashiah") was a title for the king and the source of the term "messiah.' Comments or Questions..
