2A Samuel is a positive pattern of a faithful Nazarite (1 Sam. 1:11, 28; 2:28, 35; 3:20; 7:15):
31 哈拿的祷告乃是回应并说出神的心愿,是人与神行动的合作,为要完成神永远的经纶:
31 Hannah's prayer was an echo, a speaking out, of the heart's desire of God; it was a human cooperation with the divine move for the carrying out of God's eternal economy:
4a 神能推动哈拿这在生命线上与祂是一的人;只要神能得着这样一个人,祂在地上就有路。
4a God could motivate Hannah as a person who was one with Him on the line of life; as long as God can gain such a person, He has a way on earth.
5b Hannah's prayer indicates that God's move with His answer to Hannah's prayer (1:10-17) was to produce a Nazarite who was absolute for the fulfilling of God's desire; a Nazarite is one who is consecrated to God absolutely, one who takes God as the Head, considering God his Husband, and one who has no interest in the enjoyment of worldly pleasures.
62 Samuel was one with God on earth; he began to minister as the acting God, the representative of the very God in heaven to rule over His people on earth (7:3).
73 In God's ordination Samuel was a new priest and a prophet, whose speaking changed the age, not through revolution but through divine revelation, to bring in the kingship:
8a Samuel ministered as a Nazarite consecrated to God absolutely for God's fulfillment of His economy, a volunteer to replace any official and formal serving ones of God (1:11, 28a).
12e Samuel ministered as a man of prayer, praying for God's elect to be kept in the way of God that God's desire of His will in them might be fulfilled (8:6; 12:20-25; 15:11).
