Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 1:3

_ _ this man went up out of his city yearly to worship in Shiloh — In that place was the “earth’s one sanctuary,” and thither he repaired at the three solemn feasts, accompanied by his family at one of them — probably the Passover. Although a Levite, he could not personally offer a sacrifice — that was exclusively the office of the priests; and his piety in maintaining a regular attendance on the divine ordinances is the more worthy of notice because the character of the two priests who administered them was notoriously bad. But doubtless he believed, and acted on the belief, that the ordinances were “effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue in them, or in those who administered them, but from the grace of God being communicated through them.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 1:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 1:3

Yearly — At the three solemn feasts, when he, together with all other males were obliged to go to worship God in the place appointed; and at other times, when he as a Levite, was to go thither in his course. To sacrifice — Not in his own person, which the Levites could not do, but by the priests. Were there — Or, were the priests of the Lord there, under their father Eli, who is generally conceived to have been the high — priest, but being very old and infirm, his sons ministered in his stead. This is the first time in scripture, that God is called the Lord of hosts or Armies. Probably Samuel was the first who used this title of God, for the comfort of Israel, at the time when their armies were few and feeble, and those of their enemies many and mighty.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in (b) Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, [were] there.
