SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:27
¶ Y vino un varón de Dios a Elí, y le dijo: Así dijo el SEÑOR: ¿No me manifesté yo claramente a la casa de tu padre, cuando estaban en Egipto en casa de Faraón?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 2:27
Verse 27. There came a man of God] Who this was we know not, but the Chaldee terms him yyd aybn nebiya daya, a prophet of Jehovah. Unto the house of thy father] That is, to Aaron; he was the first high priest; the priesthood descended from him to his eldest son Eleazar, then to Phinehas. It became afterwards established in the younger branch of the family of Aaron; for Eli was a descendant of Ithamar, Aaron's youngest son. From Eli it was transferred back again to the family of Eleazar, because of the profligacy of Eli's sons.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And there came a man of God unto Eli , etc.] A prophet, as the Targum; he had gifts and graces bestowed on him by the Lord, qualifying him for that office; he came from God, and spoke in his name, as prophets used to do: who this was is not said, nor can it be known with certainty; many conjectures are made; some think he might he Phinehas, as Ben Gersom and Abarbinel f54 , which is not at all likely; it is not probable that he was living, for if he had been alive, Eli would not have been high priest; the more ancient Jews say he was Elkanah, the father of Samuel; and so Jarchi; and he is said in the Targum on ( 1 Samuel 1:1), to be one of the disciples of the prophets, and was reckoned by them among the two hundred prophets that prophesied in Israel but of his prophecy we nowhere read in Scripture, or that he was one: other’s think he was Samuel himself, who through modesty conceals his name; but he was now a child, as in the preceding verse; indeed, some are of opinion that what follows is recorded in this chapter by way of anticipation, and properly belongs to, and is a part of the message sent from the Lord by Samuel to Eli, in the following chapter: and said unto him, thus saith the Lord ; using the language prophets in later times did, who spake not of themselves, but in the name of the Lord; and from whence it appears that this was not a divine Person, the Son of God in human form, since he never used to speak in this manner when he appeared: did I plainly appear to the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house ? he did; this was evident and certain, and a wonderful instance of condescending goodness: the house of his father is the house of Aaron, who, and all his sons, were born in Egypt, from whose youngest son, Ithamar, Eli descended; and to whom the Lord appeared when in Egypt, and sent him to meet Moses, whose spokesman he appointed him to be; and who prophesied in Egypt, and reproved the Israelites, which is recorded in ( Ezekiel 20:1-49) as say the Jews f58 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-36 - Those who allow their children in any evil way, and do not use their authority to restrain and punish them, in effect honour them more tha God. Let Eli's example excite parents earnestly to strive against the beginnings of wickedness, and to train up their children in the nurtur and admonition of the Lord. In the midst of the sentence against the house of Eli, mercy is promised to Israel. God's work shall never fal to the ground for want of hands to carry it on. Christ is that mercifu and faithful High Priest, whom God raised up when the Levitica priesthood was thrown off, who in all things did his Father's mind, and for whom God will build a sure house, build it on a rock, so that hel cannot prevail against it __________________________________________________________________
