Complete KJV Holy Bible 09_1SA_02_01 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 09_1SA_02_02 [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God. 09_1SA_02_03 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 09_1SA_02_04 The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 09_1SA_02_05 [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. 09_1SA_02_06 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 09_1SA_02_07 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 09_1SA_02_08 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. 09_1SA_02_09 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 09_1SA_02_10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 09_1SA_02_11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest. 09_1SA_02_12 Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. 09_1SA_02_13 And the priests' custom with the people [was, that], when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; 09_1SA_02_14 And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that came thither. 09_1SA_02_15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 09_1SA_02_16 And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give [it me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force. 09_1SA_02_17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD. 09_1SA_02_18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child, girded with a linen ephod. 09_1SA_02_19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 09_1SA_02_20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. 09_1SA_02_21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD. 09_1SA_02_22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 09_1SA_02_23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 09_1SA_02_24 Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress. 09_1SA_02_25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them. 09_1SA_02_26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men. 09_1SA_02_27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house? 09_1SA_02_28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel? 09_1SA_02_29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people? 09_1SA_02_30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 09_1SA_02_31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. 09_1SA_02_32 And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever. 09_1SA_02_33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. 09_1SA_02_34 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them. 09_1SA_02_35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. 09_1SA_02_36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
