Context of 1 Samuel 2:35
33And the man of thine [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to cause thine eyes to fail and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house shall die in their vigour. 34And this shall be the sign to thee, which shall come upon thy two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 2:35
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35A faithful priest - This seems to have been spoken of Zadok, who was anointed high priest in the room of Abiathar, the last descendant of the house of Eli; see 1 Kings 2:26, 1 Kings 2:27. Abiathar was removed because he had joined with Adonijah, who had got himself proclaimed king; see 1 Kings 1:7. I will build him a sure house - I will continue the priesthood in his family. He shall walk before mine Anointed - He shall minister before Solomon, and the…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35Zadok is meant rather than Samuel. The High Priesthood continued in the direct descendants of Zadok as long as the monarchy lasted (see 1 Chronicles 6:8-15). Mine anointed - in its first sense obviously means the kings of Israel and Judah Psalm 89:20; Zechariah 4:14.

In the midst of the sentence against the house of Eli, mercy is promised to Israel. God's work shall never fall to the ground for want…Read the comment
