Contextual Overview

¹ Hannah prayed: "The Lord has filled my heart with joy; I feel very strong in the Lord . I can laugh at my enemies; I am glad because you have helped me! ² "There is no one holy like the Lord . There is no God but you; there is no Rock like our God. ³ "Don't continue bragging, don't speak proud words. The Lord is a God who knows everything, and he judges what people do. ⁴ "The bows of warriors break, but weak people become strong. ⁵ Those who once had plenty of food now must work for food, but people who were hungry are hungry no more. The woman who could not have children now has seven, but the woman who had many children now is sad. ⁶ "The Lord sends death, and he brings to life. He sends people to the grave, and he raises them to life again. ⁷ The Lord makes some people poor, and others he makes rich. He makes some people humble, and others he makes great. ⁸ The Lord raises the poor up from the dust, and he lifts the needy from the ashes. He lets the poor sit with princes and receive a throne of honor. "The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord , and the Lord set the world upon them. ⁹ He protects those who are loyal to him, but evil people will be silenced in darkness. Power is not the key to success. ¹⁰ The Lord destroys his enemies; he will thunder in heaven against them. The Lord will judge all the earth. He will give power to his king and make his appointed king strong."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The bows of the mighty men are broken,.... Hannah, from relating gracious experiences, and celebrating, the divine perfections of holiness, omniscience, and sovereignty, passes on to take notice of the dealings of God with men in providence and grace; bows are here put for all military arms, which men of might and war make use of, and which God can easily break in pieces, and so make war to cease in the earth, and hinder warlike men from doing what they design and attempt; they are enfeebled and weakened by him, and their hands cannot perform their enterprises: so the bows of Satan, and his principalities and powers, are broken, and his fiery darts are quenched, and the people of the Lord enabled to stand against him, and wrestle with him and them, being strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might, as it follows:

and they that stumbled are girt with strength; who, through weakness, are ready to stumble at everything they meet with in the way; yet, being girded with strength by the Lord, are able to do great exploits, as David did, that being his case, Psalms 18:29, so such as are weak in grace, in faith, in knowledge, and ready to stumble at every trial and exercise, let it come from what quarter it will; yet being girded by the Lord with strength, are able to exercise grace, perform duty, go through every service they are called to, whether in a way of doing or suffering, to bear the yoke and cross of Christ, to oppose every enemy, to walk on in the ways of God, and to persevere in faith and holiness to the end.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 2:4. The bows of the mighty — The Targum considers the first verse as including a prophecy against the Philistines; the second verse, against Sennacherib and his army; the third, against Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldeans; the fourth, against the Greeks; the fifth, against Haman and his posterity; and the tenth, against Magog, and the enemies of the Messiah.
