1 Samuel1:18
18 And she said, Let thine hand-maid find grace in thy sight . So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad .
That favourable Opinion, and good Will, and gracious Prayer, which thou hast expressed on my behalf, be pleased to continue towards me.
Her heart being cheared by the Priest's comfortable words, and especially by God's Spirit setting them home upon her, and assuring her that both his and her Prayers should be heard, quickly appeared in her countenance. Heb. her indignation, or vexation (as the word Face is sometimes understood, as Gen. 32. 20. Psal. 21. 9. and 34. 16.) was no more, i. e. it vanished away.
Marginal references: Or, heaviness was no more. See Job 9. 27. Hebr.
