1 Samuel 2:10
Hebrew Bible
9 He watches over his holy ones, but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness, for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails. 10 The Lord shatters his adversaries; he thunders against them from the heavens. The Lord executes judgment to the ends of the earth. He will strengthen his king and exalt the power of his anointed one.” 11 Then Elkanah went back home to Ramah. The boy Samuel was serving the Lord with the favor of Eli the priest.

LXX 1 Samuel 2:10
Septuagint
8 He lifts up the poor from the earth, and from the dung pile he raises the beggar to sit him with the princes of the people and makes them to inherit the throne of glory. Giving to the one who truly prays, he blesses also the years of the righteous. 9 Because a man is not mighty in strength, 10 the Lord will make his adversary weak. The Lord is holy. The wise must not boast in his wisdom, and the strong must not boast in his strength, and the wealthy must not boast in his wealth. Rather the one who boasts should boast in this: to understand and to know the Lord and to practice justice and righteousness in the midst of the land. The Lord went up into the heavens and thundered. He will judge the heights of the earth and give strength to our kings, and he will lift high the horn of his anointed.” 11 And she left him there before the Lord and departed to Ramah, and the child was ministering to the face of the Lord before Eli the priest.

Notes and References
"... The Septuagint contains a long plus derived from Jeremiah 9:22–23; 4Q has a poorly preserved plus, though it is not identical with the LXX. McCarter, who considers the (broken) longer text of 4Q original, records the Qumran readings ... Since the LXX here differs from the LXX of Jeremiah at a number of points, especially in line 7, we must conclude that the Hebrew copy of Samuel used by the LXX translator had already been glossed. Both this gloss in LXX and the gloss in 4Q, begin with references to the holiness of Yahweh ..."
