    13Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she was drunk.

    14And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine from you.

    15And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

    16Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken until now.

    17Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you your petition that you have asked of him.

    18And she said, Let your maidservant find favor in your sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no longer sad.

    19And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house at Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

    20So it came to pass, when the time had come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

    21And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

    22But Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide forever.

    23And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to you; wait until you have weaned him; only let the LORD establish his word. So the woman remained at home and nursed her son until she weaned him.

    24And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.

    25And they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli.

    26And she said, Oh my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman that stood by you here, praying to the LORD.

    27For this child I prayed; and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of him:

    28Therefore I have also lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

    2And he had two wives; the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

    3And this man went up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

    4And when the time came that Elkanah offered sacrifice, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

    5But to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had closed her womb.

    6And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her fret, because the LORD had closed her womb.

    7And so he did year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore Hannah wept and did not eat.

    8Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why do you weep? and why do you not eat? and why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?

    9So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat on a seat by a doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

    10And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept greatly.

    11And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your maidservant, and remember me, and not forget your maidservant, but will give your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
