1 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 1 Samuel 2:2 there is none besides you. There is no holy being besides the Lord. Only the Lord is God (see Deuteronomy 4:35; Deuteronomy 32:39). The Lord is often described as a rock (compare Deuteronomy 32:4, Deuteronomy 32:15; 2 Samuel 22:2), which means that he provides shelter and protection for his people. In saying our God, Hannah is speaking as a member of the covenant community.
