1 Samuel 2:6

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 2:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 2:6

Killeth — The same person whom he first killeth, or bringeth nigh unto death, he afterwards raiseth to life. Me, who was almost consumed with grief, he hath revived. The name of death both in sacred scripture, and profane writers, is often given to great Calamities.
