1 SAMUEL 2:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.”
And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before me forever—the *melekh*, (raise up) introduces a new priestly line of faithfulness. The *bayit ne'eman* (sure, faithful house) replaces Eli's; it echoes the promise to David (2 Samuel 7) and anticipates the Messiah. The faithful priest may refer to Samuel, to the Zadokite line, or to the ultimate priest, Christ.
