Footnotes

  1. 1 Samuel 2:10 Hannah’s prophetic prayer was but partially fulfilled in the king soon to be anointed by her son as the deliverer of Israel; it reaches forward to... the King Messiah, in Whom alone the lofty anticipations of the prophetess are to be completely realized (The Cambridge Bible).
  2. 1 Samuel 2:10 Both The Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) and The Latin Vulgate read “His Christ” (Luke 2:26).
