Context of 1 Samuel 2:10
8He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the garbage heap To seat them with nobles, And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance; For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He set the world on them. 9He watches over the feet of His godly ones, But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; For not by might shall a person prevail. Those who contend with the Lord will be terrified; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed.” 11Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy continued to attend to the service of the Lord before Eli the priest. 12Now the sons of Eli were useless men; they did not know the Lord.

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 2:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken - Those who contend with him, מריביו meribaiu, by sinning against his laws, opposing the progress of his word, or persecuting his people. Shall judge the ends on the earth - His empire shall be extended over all mankind by the preaching of the everlasting Gospel, for to this the afterpart of the verse seems to apply: He shall give strength unto his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ, or, as the Targum…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10He shall give strength - This is a most remarkable passage, containing a clear and distinct prophecy of the Kingdom and glory of the Christ of God. (Compare Luke 1:69-70).Read the comment
- 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). He will exalt the horn: See study note on 1 Samuel 2:1. His anointed (Hebrew mashiakh): This part of Hannah’s prayer predicts both Israel’s anointed kings and God’s ultimate Anointed King—the Messiah, Jesus Christ (see 1 Samuel 12:3–5; 24:6, 10; Psalm 132:17; Daniel 9:25–26).Read the comment
- 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
