1 Samuel
King James Version (KJV)


“And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:10 Bitterness - That is, oppressed with grief. Prayed unto the Lord - They had newly offered their peace - offerings, to obtain the favour of God, and in token of their communion with him, they had feasted upon the sacrifice: and now it was proper to put up her prayer, in virtue of the sacrifice. For the peace - offerings typified Christ's mediation, as well as the sin - offerings: since by this not only atonement is made for sin, but an answer to our prayers obtained.
And shee was in bitternesse of soule, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore.
