1 Samuel 2:3

arrogancy The old form of the word arrogance(cp. innocency for innocence) from the Lat. arrogantia. It signifies "claiming more than one's due," "assumption," "pride."

knowledge The Heb. word is plural, denoting varied and extensive knowledge.

by him actions are weighed Jehovah knows the hearts of men and estimates men's actions at their true value. See Proverbs 16:2; Proverbs 24:12. This explanation is probably right, but the Heb. may also be rendered, "His (i.e. God's) actions are weighed," or, "measured:" i.e. are just and right. Cp. the use of the same word in Ezekiel 18:25, "Is not my way equal?" "By him" is the Qrîor traditional read text. (See p. 14.) The Kthîbhor written text has "not" instead of "by him," the words being similar in pronunciation though differently spelt. This may be rendered either, "though actions be not weighed," or interrogatively, "and are not actions weighed?"
