Contextual Overview

5 There was in the dayes of Herode the kyng of Iurie, a certaine priest, named Zacharias, of the course of Abia, & his wyfe was of the daughters of Aaron, & her name was Elizabeth. 6 They were both ryghteous before God, and walked in all the lawes and ordinaunces of the Lorde, that no man coulde fynde fault with them. 7 And they had no chylde, because that Elizabeth was barren: and they both were nowe well stricken in age. 8 And it came to passe, that when Zacharie executed the priestes office before God, as his course came, 9 Accordyng to ye custome of the priestes office, his lot was to burne incence, whe he went into the temple of the Lorde. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, whyle the incence was burnyng. 11 And there appeared vnto hym an Angel of the Lorde, standyng on the ryght syde of the aulter of incence. 12 And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare came vpo him. 13 But the Angel sayde vnto him: Feare not Zacharie, for thy prayer is hearde: and thy wyfe Elizabeth shall beare thee a sonne, & thou shalt cal his name Iohn. 14 And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnesse, and many shall reioyce at his birth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus hath the Lord dealt with me,.... In a very gracious and bountiful manner; in giving her strength to conceive a son in her old age, and such an one that was to be great, and so useful in his day; of which her husband had doubtless informed her by writing, though he could not speak:

in the days wherein he looked on me; with a favourable eye, with a look of love and mercy:

he took away my reproach from among men; as barrenness was accounted, especially among the Israelites, the seed of Abraham; to whom was promised a numerous issue, as the stars in the sky, and as the sand on the sea shore, and particularly the Messiah; see Genesis 30:23.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thus - In this merciful manner.

To take away my reproach - Among the Jews, a family of children was counted a signal blessing, an evidence of the favor of God, Psalms 113:9; Psalms 128:3; Isaiah 4:1; Isaiah 44:3-4; Leviticus 26:9. To be “barren,” therefore, or to be destitute of children, was considered a “reproach” or a “disgrace,” 1 Samuel 1:6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 25. To take away my reproach — As fruitfulness was a part of the promise of God to his people, Genesis 17:6, and children, on this account, being considered as a particular blessing from heaven, Exodus 23:20; Leviticus 26:9: Psalms 127:3; so barrenness was considered among the Jews as a reproach, and a token of the disapprobation of the Lord. 1 Samuel 1:6. But see Luke 1:36.
