| I Samuel 2:2
| There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong like our God.
| Holy. This is frequently a title of God, the holy one of Israel, Isaias 1:4., and 5:19. He is essentially holy. --- Strong. Hebrew, "no rock like," etc. The rocks of Palestine were the common fortresses of the nation, having caverns to which the people fled for refuge. Hence God is often called a rock, (Calmet) as none can afford such protection. (Haydock) (Psalm 17:2., and Deuteronomy 32:15.)
