16<\/strong>. a daughter of Belial<\/em> ] Rather, a worthless<\/strong>, or, wicked woman.<\/strong> Our translators have wrongly treated this word as a proper name in the historical books, but not elsewhere, though the alternative is generally given in the margin. It means worthlessness<\/em>, and according to the usual Hebrew idiom a son or daughter of worthlessness<\/em> signifies “a worthless man or woman,” and with positively bad sense, a lawless, ungodly, wicked person. If “naughty,” by which the word is rendered in Pro 6:12<\/span>, had retained its archaic sense, it would be a fair equivalent. “Belial,” or more correctly “Beliar,” is used by St Paul in 2Co 6:15<\/span> as a name of Satan, the personification of all lawlessness and worthlessness. Milton naturally follows the E. V. in regarding Belial as the name of a spirit.<\/p>\n “Belial, than whom a spirit more lewd<\/p>\n Feel not from heaven, to him no temple stood,<\/p>\n Or altar smoked, yet who more oft than he<\/p>\n In temples and at altars, when the priest<\/p>\n Turns atheist, as did Eli’s sons, who filled<\/p>\n With lust and violence the house of God.”<\/p>\n Paradise Lost<\/em>, I. 490, ff.<\/p>\n grief<\/em> ] Lit. “provocation” (cp. 1Sa 1:6<\/em><\/span>), or “vexation” as the consequence of provocation.<\/p>\n Verse 16<\/span>. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial<\/B><\/I>] al titten eth amathecha liphney<\/I> bath Beliyael<\/I>; ‘Put not thy handmaiden before the faces of a daughter of Belial.” “If I am a drunkard, and strive by the most execrable hypocrisy (praying in the house of God) to cover my iniquity, then I am the chief of the daughters of Belial.” Or, “Give not thy handmaid to reproach) before the faces of the daughters of Belial.” Several of these<\/I> probably attended there for the purposes of prostitution and gain; for it is said, 1Sa 2:22<\/span>, that Eli’s sons lay with the women at the door of the tabernacle, though this may refer to the women who kept the door.<\/P> <\/p>\n For a daughter of Belial; <\/B>for such a wicked monster, as a drunken woman is. The oppression of my spirits hath forced me to speak, and that so liberally at this time, for the case of my sinking heart. <\/P> <\/p>\n Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial<\/strong>,…. A yokeless, a lawless, impudent, and abandoned creature; one of the most wicked, vilest, and most profligate wretches; as she must be to come drunk into the sanctuary of God; see 1Sa 25:17<\/span>. Drunkenness in man is au abominable crime, but much more in a woman. The Romans a forbad wine to women, and drunkenness in them was a capital crime, as adultery, or any other; and indeed a drunken woman is liable to all manner of sin:<\/p>\n for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto<\/strong>; out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak, whether it is matter of trouble or of joy; the heart of Hannah was full of grief, and her mouth full of complaints, on which she long dwelt, in order to give vent thereunto, and ease herself.<\/p>\n a Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 14. c. 13.<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> A daughter of Belial <\/strong> The Hebrew word , beliyaal, <\/em> rendered as a proper name here and frequently elsewhere in the Old Testament, means worthlessness, lowness. <\/em> Our translators have rendered it variously wicked, <\/em> (Deu 15:9<\/span>\ud83d\ude09 evil, <\/em> (Psa 41:8<\/span>\ud83d\ude09 naughty, <\/em> (Pro 6:12<\/span>\ud83d\ude09 ungodly, <\/em> (Pro 16:27<\/span>\ud83d\ude09 and scholars are now generally agreed that it is nowhere to be taken as a proper name.<\/p>\n It should here be rendered, a daughter of worthlessness, <\/em> that is, a low, worthless, licentious woman, such as were those whom Eli’s own sons corrupted. 1Sa 2:22<\/span>. Hannah besought Eli not to class her among those wretched prostitutes.<\/p>\n 1Sa 1:16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.<\/p>\n Ver. 16. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial.<\/strong> ] That is, Of the devil, as all drunkards are confessedly. Behemoth lieth in the fens, Job 40:21 which Gul. Parisiensis applieth to the devil dwelling in drunken hearts. See Luk 11:24<\/span> .

Thus, when we are unjustly censured, we should endeavour not only to clear ourselves, but to satisfy our brethren, by giving them a just and true account of what they misapprehended.<\/p>\n Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 16. a daughter of Belial ] Rather, a worthless, or, wicked woman.
