Context of 1 Samuel 2:10
8He raises up weak people from the ground. He lifts poor people up out of the dirt. He makes them become friends of princes. He puts them in places of honour. The deep places of the earth belong to the Lord. He built the world on a strong foundation. 9He takes care of his faithful people. But he puts wicked people in a dark place where they can do nothing. It is not a person's own strength that makes him great. The Lord will destroy his enemies. He will shout against them from heaven like loud thunder. The Lord will judge everyone on earth. He will make his king strong. He will give power to the king that he has chosen to rule.’ 11Then Elkanah went back to his home at Ramah with his family. But the young boy, Samuel, stayed in Shiloh. He served the Lord there, while Eli the priest took care of him. 12Eli's sons were wicked men. They did not respect the Lord.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10The king was to use his God-given power to help the oppressed, the hungry, and those unable to have children (see Psalm 72:1 4, 12–14; Proverbs 31:8–9).

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth ... exalt the horn of his anointed--This is the first place in Scripture where the word "anointed," or Messiah, occurs; and as there was no king in Israel at the time, it seems the best interpretation to refer it to Christ. There is, indeed, a remarkable resemblance between the song of Hannah and that of Mary (Lu 1:46).Read the comment
