撒母耳記上 1:28 註釋：Rashi, Radak & Metzudat David

And I have dedicated him to Adonoy. Just as a person who lends a utensil to his master, or lends him his son to serve him.

I lent him: I returned the loan to Him that He gave me. And Yonatan translated it [in the Targum] as, "I gave him over, that he should serve before the Lord."

And also: Meaning to say, also at the time of the prayer, I then vowed to lend him to the Lord, to always dedicate himself to His service.

He is dedicated. Enpruntez in Old French, i.e., you have no right to punish him, for the Holy one, Blessed is He, has become his borrower; because I have lent [Shmuel] to Him, He must return him to me.⁴⁵Another interpretation of “שָׁאוּל” is that it refers to Shaul. She stated by Divine inspiration, “as long as Shmuel lives, Shaul will live.” Shmuel was no longer alive at the time of Shaul’s death.

He then prostrated himself. Shmuel. Others say, Elkonoh.
