Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:20

Theological / Devotional

Lent to the Lord. What is lent to the Lord is sure to be returned with compound interest. Hannah dedicated one child to the Lord and was rewarded with five others. Abraham did so with Isaac, and God promised him seed “as the stars of the heaven” (Gen. 22:17). Christ promised a return of a hundredfold even in this life (Matt. 19:29; Luke 18:30).
