1 Samuel Chapter 2 Summary: Chapter Summaries

1 Samuel chapter 2 summary began with a prayer from Hannah. The wife of Elkanah prayed a prayer of thanksgiving as she rejoiced in the Great Spirit and in His salvation. It was an excellent prayer, she declared the Creator a Creator of knowledge who weighed the actions of men.

She reiterated something written by Moses years prior. Sister Hannah said it is the Great Spirit who kills and the Great Spirit who makes alive (Deut 32:39)! She declared Creator was in control of everything.

The Great Creator would give strength to His King and exalt the horn of His Anointed. It was a great prayer. Samuel, the son of Elkanah and Hannah, served the Great Spirit in the priest or Great Spirit’s house.

1 Samuel Chapter 2 Summary

The chapter transitioned to Eli and his sons. Eli’s sons were evil, sons of Belial, as it is stated, who did not know the Creator of Israel. How do they serve in Creator’s house but not know the Creator? They do their own thing, which included enlisting heavy burdens on the people.

They did evil while representing the Great Creator, and made people hate the offering of the Great Spirit. As Elkanah and Hannah came up yearly for the sacrifice, they would bring Samuel clothing and gifts. Eli blessed them to have more children for their gift of Samuel to the Great Spirit.

Hannah and Elkanah had three more sons and two daughters. Back to Eli and his sons. He learned the true reports of how evil his sons were. They would steal from the people’s sacrifice and sleep with the women and do all kinds of abominable things.

Eli tried to rebuke them but they wouldn’t listen. They didn’t listen because the Creator had them as HE had Pharaoh, the Great Spirit hardened their heart so they would not repent and thus be killed.

The Great Creator confronted Eli because he condoned his son’s behavior. One of the consequences Eli had to suffer was fatal for his offspring. The Great Spirit cut off long life in Eli’s house forever (I pray we are not of his descendant). Honor the Great Creator before men!

This is the summary of 1 Samuel chapter 2, Glory to Honor.
