    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.

    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.'

    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.

    6The Lord called Samuel again. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call, my son. Go back and lie down."

    7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.

    8The Lord called Samuel a third time, and he got up and went to Eli, saying, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy.

    9So Eli said to Samuel, "Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

    10The Lord came, stood there, and called as he had before: "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."
