1Hannah was praying, like, "My heart's vibin' with the Lord, I'm feeling blessed, and I'm coming for my haters 'cause I'm all about that salvation hype."

2Ain't nobody holy like the Lord; for real, there's no one else like Him, and our God is the ultimate rock.

3Chill with the bragging; don't let that arrogance slip from your lips. The Lord knows what's up, and He weighs all the moves.

4The strong bows are totally snapped, but those who tripped up are getting that strength boost.

5The full peeps are out here grinding for some bread, while the hungry are thriving; even the barren is flexing seven kids, and the ones with many are kinda struggling.

6The Lord's got the power to take life and give it back; He can bring you low or lift you up, no cap.

7The Lord can make you broke or rich; He'll humble you or lift you higher, that's just facts.

8He’s pulling the poor from the dirt and raising up the beggar from the bottom, placing them with the kings, 'cause the earth is His and He’s got it all on lock.

9He’s got the saints covered, and the wicked will be silent in the dark; no one can flex on His strength.

10The Lord’s enemies are getting wrecked; He’s gonna drop some thunder from the heavens, judging the whole earth, giving mad strength to His king and lifting up His anointed.

11Elkanah bounced to Ramah to chill at his crib. The kid was out here serving the Lord in front of Eli, the priest.

12But Eli’s sons? Total sus vibes; they didn’t even know the Lord.

13The priests had this whole routine: when someone brought a sacrifice, the priest’s homie showed up while the meat was cooking, flexing a three-pronged hook.

14He’d stick it in the pot, and whatever came up, the priest claimed it for himself. They were doing this in Shiloh with all the Israelites rolling through.

15Before they even burnt the fat, the priest’s homie would roll up and say, "Yo, give me some raw meat to roast for the priest; he’s not about that boiled life."

16If anyone said, "Hold up, let them burn the fat first and take what you want," he’d be like, "Nah fam, give it to me now or I’m taking it."

17So yeah, the sin of those young dudes was majorly savage in the eyes of the Lord; people were not vibing with the Lord’s offerings.

18But Samuel was out here serving the Lord as a kid, rocking a linen ephod.

19His mom made him a fresh little coat and brought it to him every year when she came up with her husband to drop off the yearly sacrifice.

20Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, saying, "The Lord hook you up with kids from this woman for the loan you gave to the Lord." Then they headed back home.

21The Lord pulled up on Hannah, and she had three sons and two daughters. Samuel was out here growing up in the Lord’s vibes.

22Eli was super old and heard all the sus stuff his sons were doing to Israel, like getting with the women at the tabernacle door.

23He was like, "Why y’all acting like this? I hear all the tea about your shady moves."

24Nah, my dudes; that’s not a good look: you’re making the Lord’s people mess up.

25If someone sins against another, the judge will handle it; but if it’s against the Lord, who’s gonna back you up? They totally ignored their dad’s words 'cause the Lord was ready to take them out.

26Samuel kept growing and was favored by both the Lord and people, no cap.

27A man of God came to Eli and said, "Yo, did I not show up to your fam when they were in Egypt at Pharaoh’s crib?"

28Did I not pick him from all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to vibe at my altar, burn incense, and rock an ephod before me? Did I not give your fam all the fire offerings from Israel?

29Why you trippin' on my sacrifices and offerings that I told you to do? You’re putting your sons above me and getting fat off the best offerings from my people?

30The Lord God of Israel says, "I said your house and your fam would be my peeps forever; but now I’m saying, nah, for those who honor me, I’ll honor them, and those who disrespect me? They’re getting played."

31Yo, days are coming when I’m gonna cut off your fam’s strength, and there won’t be any old heads left in your crib.

32You’ll see enemies chilling in my spot, taking all the blessings God’s dropping on Israel: no old dude in your house forever, no cap.

33The dude from your crew, who I won’t take away from my altar, is gonna hurt your vibes and break your heart: all your fam’s gonna die young, periodt.

34Here’s the sign for you: your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are gonna get wrecked in the same day, fr.

35I’ll raise up a faithful priest who’s gonna vibe with my heart and mind: I’ll hook him up with a solid house; he’ll be lit before my anointed forever.

36Everyone left in your house will come to him, begging for a little cash and some bread, saying, “Please, put me in one of the priest spots so I can munch on some bread.”

1And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

2There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

3Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

4The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.

9He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

10The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

11And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.

12Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.

13And the priests’ custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

14And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

15Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

16And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

17Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.

18But Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

19Moreover 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.

20And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.

21And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.

22Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

23And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

24Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord’s people to transgress.

25If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.

26And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men.

27And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?

28And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

29Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

32And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

33And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

34And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

35And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

36And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
