§ 14 1 Sam. 2.10. He shall give strength unto his King, and exalt the horn of his anointed. Targ. [Greek or Hebrew], and he shall exalt the Kingdom of his Messiah. In Midrash Tillim also on Psalm 75. they ascribe this place unto the Messiah, and reckon his Horn as the tenth horn of strength granted unto Israel. R. Levi Ben Gershom understands, by the King in the first place, He shall give strength unto his King; Saul, and by Messiah in the close of the words, David, who was to be anointed by Samuel the Son of Hanna whose words these are; Kimchi applies the words to the Messiah, whom as he says, she intended by the Spirit of Prophecy; or spoke of from Tradition. And indeed the words seem directly to intend him. For by him alone doth the Lord judge the Ends of the Earth, and he was the Anointed whose Power he would signally exalt. And I mention this place only as an instance of the Faith of the Church of old, who in all their mercies, still had a regard unto the Great Promise of the Messiah, which was the Fountain of them all. And therefore Hanna here closeth her Prophetical Eulogy with her acknowledgement thereof, and faith therein.
