Penirah. 00:18 No, Julie, it's Peninnah. 00:20 Peninnah would make fun of Hannah 00:21 for not being able to have any children. 00:23 Mean old Pandora. 00:26 No, Julie, it's... Never mind. 00:28 So, Hannah went to the temple and prayed to God 00:30 that she could have a son. 00:31 And then... Oh! 00:33 It's time to start. Let's go! 00:35 No, no, Julie. 00:36 We're not done talking to the campers yet. 00:38 Oh. 00:39 Anyway, like I was saying, Hannah went to the temple 00:42 and then... 00:43 Oh, there is the music.

I brought an amazing Bible Gem. 01:41 Oh, look, look this. 01:44 Can you believe it? It's the gem. 01:46 Oh, you gonna have to show Uncle Aron. 01:48 Unlce Aron, look. 01:49 Well, just amazing like I thought it would be. 01:53 Can't wait to hear it. 01:55 Joe Dee, do you think 01:57 we could sing about that Bible gem? 01:58 Oh, yes. Yes, I think we should. 02:01 Oh, that is so awesome. 02:05 Delight yourself in the Lord 02:12 Delight yourself in the Lord 02:18 Delight yourself in the Lord 02:25 And he shall give you 02:29 The desires of your heart 02:33 Psalm 37:4 02:40 Beautiful. 02:42 We do have a special story of a lady 02:45 that delighted herself in the Lord. 02:47 I think that was the gem you found today, wasn't it? 02:50 It was. Sure, it was. 02:51 Awesome. 02:53 I'm gonna tell you about a very special lady, 02:55 and her name was Hannah. 02:57 And she lived with Elkanah, her husband, 03:01 and also she lived with the second wife, 03:06 Peninnah. 03:07 And Peninnah gave Elkanah lots of sons and daughters. 03:13 But Hannah didn't have any children. 03:15 And that made her feel so bad. 03:18 And so as they were getting ready each year 03:20 to go to Shiloh to worship the Lord, 03:24 Peninnah was getting everything ready. 03:26 And so she asked if she needed any help. 03:32 Can I help you, Peninnah? 03:34 "Why would you help me? 03:36 I need help with the children 03:37 and you don't have any children. 03:40 And how could you know how to handle children? 03:43 You're nothing at all. You know that. Don't you? 03:46 Well, just go, go do what you do. 03:48 I don't know what you do. Just go do what you do. 03:50 I'll take care of the children." 03:54 Every day she was meaner and meaner to her. 03:58 But at last they went to the feast. 04:02 But her husband Elkanah, he went to the temple, 04:06 and there in the temple were two men, 04:10 and they were evil, and they were saying, 04:12 "No, I want more money." 04:14 "But I've already given you 04:15 the amount of money that is needed." 04:17 "Give it to me now!" 04:21 "All right. But this isn't the right." 04:22 "Give it to me. Do you want trouble?" 04:25 So they give it to him. 04:26 And so when they did the sacrifice, 04:28 and he went to take his portion and give the portion, 04:32 the priest would get a little bit. 04:33 He said, "No, we want double the amount. 04:36 We want more." 04:37 "But this is the amount that you're supposed to have. 04:40 And I need..." "Give it to me now. 04:43 Are you gonna give me any trouble?" 04:47 Shake your head. "No." 04:50 And so he took it and he went back to his family. 04:54 He was very sad 04:57 because there was a priest and priest Eli. 05:00 And he didn't make his sons mine 05:02 and so his sons were more and more wicked 05:04 and less and less people were coming to worship 05:07 because of his wickedness. 05:10 So he came back and he gave a portion to Peninnah 05:16 and then he gave some to her sons. 05:20 But, to Hannah, 05:23 he gave her a double portion 05:26 and he handed it to her. 05:29 "Here's your portion, 05:30 and I'm gonna give you an extra portion." 05:33 But Peninnah was very angry. 05:36 "I don't know why you give her an extra portion. 05:39 She has done anything anyway. 05:41 She doesn't even have any children. 05:43 Has she given you any sons? No, she has not. 05:48 I don't know what you're even doing here? 05:51 Get out of my sight." 05:54 But Elkanah went after her and he said, "Why are you sad? 06:01 And why are you hurting? 06:02 Am I not better than 10 sons?" 06:06 And she just cried, and he came back to feast 06:09 and she ran and she ran 06:10 and she finally came to the temple. 06:14 Who would hear her but God, 06:15 so she fell down underneath and she... 06:22 And she was swaying and crying. 06:25 "God, help me. 06:27 Please, please, if you give me a son, 06:29 I will give him to you all the days of his life." 06:32 And while she was going on like that, 06:35 the priest came, 06:36 because there wasn't many people 06:38 that prayed anymore. 06:39 And as he came, and he stood there and he said, 06:42 "Woman, you are drunk. 06:47 Why do you act like that? 06:50 You should not be drinking wine." 06:54 She said, "Oh, no, my Lord. 06:56 I have not drank any wine or strong drink. 07:00 I am very sad in my heart. 07:03 And I was just asking God for something 07:06 that He would give it to me." 07:09 Then, she couldn't believe. 07:11 He looked at her and he said, 07:15 "May the God of heaven grant your request." 07:19 And as soon as he said that, she wiped her tears 07:25 and she believed God and she went back home. 07:32 Well, about the time for the next time 07:36 to go to the Passover. 07:39 Elkanah and Peninnah were getting ready 07:41 and all their children, 07:43 but Hannah said to her husband, 07:46 I would like to stay here, because I have little Samuel. 07:51 And God has blessed me with him. 07:54 And it's not time for me to give him to the Lord. 07:57 I'm gonna wait until 07:58 he no longer needs a baby's milk. 08:02 I will keep him with me 08:04 and teach him all the days of his life. 08:06 So he was little, and they went off to the feast 08:09 and they came back. 08:10 And another year went by and they went off 08:12 and they came back. 08:13 And finally, he no longer drank the baby's milk, 08:17 and his mother every day, she sat him at her feet, 08:22 and she read to him. 08:23 She read to him from the precious gems 08:26 of the Bible. 08:28 And she told him all about how God loved him 08:31 and how great God was 08:33 and what a privilege it was to serve Him. 08:35 And she'd say, "Do you know what Samuel means?" 08:38 Do you know what Samuel means? Anybody know what Samuel means? 08:45 Because God gave him to me. 08:47 That's pretty good. Asked of God. 08:51 And so she had asked God and He had given and she said, 08:54 "I'm gonna give my best treasure to God." 08:58 Now when God does something special to you, 09:00 do you just love Him so much 09:01 that you want to give Him your best back? 09:04 Yeah. Yes. 09:06 And so she taught him, and then she made him 09:11 a beautiful robe. 09:12 And she put it on him. 09:14 And they took gifts and they went to see Eli, 09:17 and she hung on to his hand. 09:20 Can you hang on to my hand? Stand up. 09:23 She hung on to Samuel's hand, 09:25 and they walked up to the priest. 09:29 And the priest said, "Yes, may I help you." 09:32 She said, "I brought you God's gift." 09:36 Now this mother really loved the Lord, 09:39 because how many mothers want to take their child 09:42 to somebody where they know 09:44 there's a lot of wickedness in the place, 09:47 and Hophni and Phinehas was there, 09:49 and he could learn bad things. 09:51 But she believed God would protect her Samuel, 09:53 that's how much she loved God. 09:56 And so she said, "Here is what I had prayed for. 10:00 I prayed for a son. 10:02 And I said, 'If God would give me a son, 10:04 a precious son, then I would give it to God 10:07 all the days of his life,' 10:09 that this gift that God has given me is his. 10:12 I am giving it to him. I'm giving it back to him.'" 10:16 So the priest Eli looked and he had not seen 10:21 such great faith, not in all of Israel. 10:25 And so he took Samuel's hand and Samuel had been told 10:29 ever since he was little, you belong to God. 10:32 So do you think he just cried and cried and said, 10:34 "No, no, Mommy, don't leave me." 10:37 No, he knew that he belonged to God. 10:41 His mother had told him that all the days of his life. 10:43 And so, he happily, and so, he went along with priest Eli. 10:48 Well, he even though he was little, 10:50 he could do little things. 10:52 And he would take the broom, 10:53 and he would sweep in the temple, 10:56 and he'd sweep everything up 10:59 and he, then sometimes he would carry wood. 11:02 And he'd only carry a little bit 11:04 because he couldn't. 11:05 He was just a little boy. 11:07 And he would carry the wood 11:08 and he'd lay up there by the altar or wherever, 11:11 and he helped all that he could. 11:14 And he got bigger. 11:15 And the next year, his mother brought him a new robe 11:17 and he got bigger and bigger and bigger. 11:20 And then, one night he was sleeping in his tent, 11:24 and he heard a voice, 11:28 "Samuel." 11:31 And Samuel went running to Eli to wake him up. 11:35 What is it, my son? 11:40 Here I am for you called me. 11:42 I did not call you, my son. Go, lay down again. 11:47 The second time he heard the voice, 11:50 "Samuel." 11:54 And Samuel went running again. 12:01 What is it, my son? 12:04 Here I am for you called me. 12:06 No, no, no, no, I did not call you. 12:09 Go, lay down again. Go, lay down. 12:12 Good night now. 12:15 Then, he heard the voice again, "Samuel." 12:21 And Samuel went running again to priest Eli. 12:27 Oh, my, my. What is it, my son? 12:30 Here I am for you called me. 12:33 Now, listen, my son. 12:36 If you hear the voice again, 12:38 say, "Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth." 12:42 Okay? Okay, go, lay down now. 12:47 He heard the voice again and he did just what Eli said. 12:50 He said, "Speak, Lord, for your servant heareth." 12:54 And when Samuel got up the next morning, 12:58 Eli was ready to meet him. 13:05 Samuel, my son, what did God tell you 13:09 in the dream last night? 13:12 God will judge you and your sons. 13:16 Blessed be the name of the Lord. 13:19 And Eli accepted that because though his sons were so evil, 13:23 they could not be in their priest office anymore. 13:26 Well, boys and girls, 13:28 that's all the time we have for now. 13:30 Remember to search 13:31 for your gems in the scriptures. 13:34 And we'll see you next time on Bible Gems! 13:39 Bye-bye. |
