This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_1:13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
Ver. 13. She spake in her heart.] Vocis egit silentio ut corde clamaret, as Augustine saith of Moses. {Exo_14:4-5} Non vex sed votum.
Therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.] Here was devotion misconstrued. So was it in those good souls that were puriores caelo, as Chrysostom saith; {Act_2:13} in those ancient martyrs, whose constancy was counted obstinacy; {a} and in those modern martyrs, who were said to be actuated by the spirits of the buttery, and to go drunken to the stake. {b}
{a} Tertul., Apolog.
{b} Act. and Mon., 1653.
