1 Samuel 2:6 Context
4The vowes of the mightie men are broken, and they that stumbled are girt with strength. 5They that were full, haue hired out themselues for bread: and they that were hungry, ceased: so that the barren hath borne seuen, and she that hath many children, is waxed feeble. 6The Lord killeth and maketh aliue, he bringeth downe to the graue, and bringeth vp. 7The Lord maketh poore, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth vp. 8He raiseth vp the poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lords, and hee hath set the world vpon them.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Samuel 2:6
2:6 Killeth - The same person whom he first killeth, or bringeth nigh unto death, he afterwards raiseth to life. Me, who was almost consumed with grief, he hath revived. The name of death both in sacred scripture, and profane writers, is often given to great Calamities.
