Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The natural place for this verse seems to be before the 1 Samuel 2:11, after which the 1 Samuel 2:21, should probably come in; and after the 21st, perhaps the 1 Samuel 2:26, should follow.

blessed: Genesis 14:19, Genesis 27:27-29, Numbers 6:23-27, Ruth 2:12, Ruth 4:11

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife,.... Not only the first time they brought Samuel to him, and left him with him; but every year they came to worship, as the Jewish commentators mostly interpret it:

and said, the Lord give thee seed of this woman; children by her, year after year:

for the loan which is lent to the Lord; instead of Samuel, who was asked of the Lord and given to him again; and as they were thereby in some measure deprived of him, and could not always enjoy him, and be delighted with him, Eli prayed for them, and gave them his benediction as a priest, that they might be favoured with other children, who might be of delight and service to them when in old age:

and they went unto their own home; at Ramah, as in 1 Samuel 2:11 or to his place r, Elkanah's; hence Kimchi concludes that Hannah was of another city originally; but the Targum is,

"to their place;''

and indeed, what was now the place or home of the one, was of the other.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 2:20. Eli blessed Elkanah — The natural place of this verse seems to be before the 11th; after which the 21st should come in; after the 21st, perhaps the 26th should come in. 1 Samuel 2:11; 1 Samuel 2:21; 1 Samuel 2:26. The subjects in this chapter seem very much entangled and confused by the wrong position of the verses.
