Am not I better to thee then ten sonnes? 9 So Hanna rose vp after that they had eaten and drunke in Silo. (And Eli the priest sate vpon a stoole by one of the postes of the temple of the Lorde.) 10 And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, & wept sore, 11 And vowed a vowe, and sayd: O Lord of hoastes, if thou wilt loke on the trouble of thyne handmayde and remembre me, and not forget thyne hand mayde, but geue vnto thyne handmayde a man childe, I will geue him vnto the Lorde all the dayes of his lyfe, and there shall no rasor come vpon his head. 12 And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth. 13 For Hanna spake in her hearte, & her lippes did but moue onely, but her voyce was not hearde, & therfore Eli thought she had ben drunken. 14 And Eli sayde vnto her: Howe long wilt thou be drunken?
