Comentário sobre I Samuel 2:6

The Lord kills, and gives life: Meaning to say, this does not come by happenstance, but rather the hand of the Lord did this. He kills the sons of the mother of many, and He gives life to the sons of the barren one, so [that] she does not become bereaved from birth, from the womb and from pregnancy.

The Lord kills, and gives life to a man. It first stated, "kills," and afterwards, "gives life," the opposite of a living being, who He set up to live and extends his life when He wants. And likewise (Isaiah 38:16), "and heal me and give me life"; and those that are similar to it - the explanation of which is the preservation of life in a person. And "He brings down to the grave and raises up," is likewise like (Psalms 30:4), "You raised my soul from the grave, You gave me life out of those that descended to the pit"; and also (Psalms 49:16), "from the grave, since You took me, Selah." And the understanding of, "from," is above from it and below from it; or it is a hint to troubles and respites. And likewise (Deuteronomy 32:39), "I kill and I give life." Or "He kills, and gives life" - I kill and give life is a hint to the reward of the righteous and to the punishment of the wicked, to their souls. Or it stated this verse in the way of prophecy or in the way of tradition about the revival of the dead in the future to come.

He brings down to the grave: And with this, he brings the mother of many to the grave - meaning to say, with the lowliness of this condition and the depth of the distress; whereas He raises the barren one from the deep lowliness of her condition.
