Context of 1 Samuel 2:6
4The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 5They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are [so] no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. 7Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich, he bringeth low, also he lifteth up: 8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, To set [him] among nobles; and he maketh them inherit a throne of glory; For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he hath set the world upon them.
