    4 And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

    5 But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.

    6 And the other wife did everything possible to make her unhappy, because the Lord had not let her have children;

    7 And year by year, whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she kept on attacking her, so that Hannah gave herself up to weeping and would take no food.

    8 Then her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why are you weeping? and why are you taking no food? why is your heart troubled? am I not more to you than ten sons?

    9 So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord.

    10 And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord.

    11 And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

    12 Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.

    13 For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

    14 And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.

    15 And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord.

    16 Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.

    17 Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him.
