    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.'

    12As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.

    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.'
