1 Samuel 2

Treated in 31 passages across the library.

  • 2:8 He lifts the poor up out of the dust and raises those in need from the ash heap, to seat them with nobles and give them a throne of honor as their own. For the pillars of the earth belong to the LORD; on them he has set the world. 6
  • 2:2 No one is holy like the LORD; indeed, there is none but you, and no rock is like our God. 4
  • 2:30 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: I did promise that your family and your ancestor's family would walk before me forever. But now the LORD declares: That will never be! For I will honor those who honor me, and those who despise me will be treated as nothing. 4
  • 2:3 Do not keep talking so proudly, or let arrogant words leave your lips, for the LORD is a God who knows all things, and by him every action is weighed. 3
  • 2:6 The LORD brings death and gives life; he sends down to Sheol and brings up again. 2
  • 2:9 He guards the steps of his faithful ones, but the wicked are silenced in darkness, for no one wins by strength. 2
  • 2:17 So the sin of these young men was very great in the sight of the LORD, for they treated the LORD's offering with contempt. 2
  • 2:25 If one person sins against another, God can settle the matter; but if someone sins against the LORD, who can plead for that person?" But they would not listen to their father, because the LORD had decided to put them to death. 2
  • 2:26 Meanwhile the boy Samuel went on growing up, and both the LORD and the people were pleased with him. 2
  • 2:10 Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered; he will thunder against them from heaven. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; he will grant strength to his king and raise high the horn of his anointed." 1
  • 2:12 Now Eli's sons were worthless men; they did not know the LORD. 1
  • 2:22 Eli was now very old. He kept hearing of all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they slept with the women serving at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 1
  • 2:27 A man of God came to Eli and said to him, "The LORD says this: 'Did I not plainly reveal myself to your ancestor's family when they were in Egypt, subject to Pharaoh's house? 1
