Reading for February 14th

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 underworld.
In verse 10: The reference to his king shows that the psalm was written later than Hannah since there was no king of Israel yet in her time.
Anointed, (He., "mashiah") was a title for the king and the source of the term "messiah."
