Context — Eli’s Wicked Sons
17Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
18Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.
19Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
20And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD. ” Then they would go home. 21So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.Cross References

1 Samuel 2:19 Summary
This verse shows the love and care that Hannah had for her son Samuel, as she made him a new robe each year when she visited him at the tabernacle. It also highlights the importance of trusting in the Lord's plan for our lives, even when it involves difficult circumstances or separation from loved ones, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. Just like Hannah, we can show our love and care for our family members by staying connected with them and supporting them in their walk with the Lord, and by trusting in the Lord's plan for our lives, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6. By doing so, we can have peace and confidence, knowing that the Lord is with us and guiding us, as seen in Psalm 23:4.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Hannah make a little robe for Samuel each year?
Hannah made a little robe for Samuel each year as an act of love and devotion to her son, who was dedicated to serving the Lord, as seen in 1 Samuel 2:19. This also shows her commitment to her vow in 1 Samuel 1:11.
What is the significance of the annual sacrifice in this verse?
The annual sacrifice was a time for the Israelites to come before the Lord and offer sacrifices, as seen in Leviticus 23:4, and for Hannah and Elkanah to visit their son Samuel, who was serving the Lord under Eli's guidance.
How does this verse show the relationship between Hannah and Samuel?
This verse shows the loving and caring relationship between Hannah and Samuel, as she takes the time to make him a new robe each year, demonstrating her continued love and support for her son, even though he is serving the Lord in a different location, much like the love of the Lord for His children, as seen in Psalm 139:13-14.
What can we learn from Hannah's actions in this verse?
We can learn the importance of showing love and care for our children and loved ones, even if they are not with us physically, and trusting in the Lord's plan for their lives, as seen in Proverbs 22:6 and Jeremiah 29:11.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can show love and care for my family members, even if we are not physically together?
- How can I trust in the Lord's plan for my life, even when it involves difficult circumstances or separation from loved ones?
- What are some ways I can serve the Lord, like Samuel, and how can I stay committed to my faith even in challenging situations?
- How can I balance my desire to be with my loved ones with my desire to serve the Lord, and what does the Bible say about this balance, as seen in Matthew 10:37-38?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 2:19
Moreover, his mother made him a little coat,.... Suitable to his stature; this was an outer coat to wear over others, and this also was such an one as the priests wore; it is the same word that is
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 2:19
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. His mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:19
A little coat, suitable to his age and stature, to be worn ordinarily; for coats were their usual garments. See 37:3 9:3. Knowing that he could not yet do much service, she would not have him too burdensome to the tabernacle, and therefore she yearly provided him with a coat, which was the chief and upper garment; and under that his other garments possibly are comprehended.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:19
1 Samuel 2:19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.Ver. 19. His mother made him a little coat.] To wear under his ephod at festival times, saith Pet. Martyr, and so showed her motherly care; and did something toward his maintenance.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:19
(19) A little coat.—The “little coat”—Hebrew, m’il—was, no doubt, closely resembling in shape the m’il, or robe worn apparently by the high priest, only the little m’il of Samuel was without the costly symbolical ornaments attached to the high priestly robe. This strange, unusual dress was, no doubt, arranged for the boy by his protector and guardian, Eli, who looked on the child as destined for some great work in connection with the life of the chosen people. Not improbably the old man, too, well aware of the character of his own sons, hoped to train up the favoured child—whose connection with himself and the sanctuary had begun in so remarkable a manner—as his successor in the chief sacred and civil office in Israel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:19
Verse 19. Made him a little coat] מעיל קטן meil katon, a little cloak, or surtout, an upper garment: probably intended to keep him from the cold, and to save his other clothes from being abused in his meaner services. It is probable that she furnished him with a new one each year, when she came up to one of the annual sacrifices.
