Yahweh kills, and makes alive: He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.
      3. How she herewith silences those that set up themselves as rivals with God and rebels against him (1 Samuel 2:3; 1 Samuel 2:3): Talk no more so exceedingly proudly. Let not Peninnah and her children upbraid her any more with her confidence in God and praying to him: at length she found it not in vain. See Micah 7:10, Then she that is my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her that said, Where is thy God? Or perhaps it was below her to take so much notice of Peninnah, and her malice, in this song; but this is intended as a check to the insolence of the Philistines, and other enemies of God and Israel, that set their mouth against the heavens,Psalms 73:9. "Let this put them to silence and shame; he that has thus judged for me against my adversary will judge for his people against all theirs."
