    13Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore, Eli thought she was drunk.

    14Eli said to her, 'How long will you remain drunk? Put away your wine!'

    15Hannah answered, 'No, my lord. I am a woman deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.'

    16Do not consider your servant a worthless woman. It is out of my great sorrow and distress that I have been speaking until now.'

    17Then Eli answered, 'Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of Him.'

    18She said, 'May your servant find favor in your eyes.' Then she went her way, and she ate, and her face was no longer downcast.

    19Early in the morning, they arose and worshiped before the LORD, and then they returned to their home in Ramah. Elkanah was intimate with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.

    20In the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I asked the LORD for him.'

    21When Elkanah and all his household went up to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,

    22Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, 'After the boy is weaned, I will take him to appear before the LORD, and he will remain there permanently.'

    23Elkanah her husband said to her, 'Do what seems best to you. Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish His word.' So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she weaned him.

    24After she had weaned him, she took him along with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh. The boy was young.

    25They slaughtered the bull and brought the boy to Eli.

    26She said, 'Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.

    27I prayed for this boy, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him.

    28Now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.' And they worshiped the LORD there.

    2He had two wives. The name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other was Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

    3Year after year, this man would go up from his city to worship and to offer sacrifices to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, served as priests of the LORD.

    4On the day Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.

    5But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb.

    6Her rival provoked her severely to irritate her because the LORD had closed her womb.

    7This went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival would provoke her, and she would weep and not eat.

    8Then her husband Elkanah said to her, 'Hannah, why are you crying? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?'

    9After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah arose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

    10In her deep anguish, Hannah prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly.

    11She made a vow, saying, 'LORD of Hosts, if You will indeed look upon the affliction of Your servant and remember me, and not forget Your servant, but give Your servant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever touch his head.'
