1¶ Hannah Gives Birth to Samuel There was a man from Ramathaim Zophim, from the hill country of Ephraim. His name was Elkanah. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
2He had two wives; the name of the first was Hannah and the name of the second was Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
3This man would go up from his city year after year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Heaven’s Armies at Shiloh.(It was there that the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, served as the LORD’s priests.)
4The day came and Elkanah sacrificed.(Now he used to give meat portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
5But to Hannah he would give a double portion, because he loved Hannah, although the LORD had not enabled her to have children.
6Her rival used to aggravate her to the point of exasperation, just to irritate her, since the LORD had not enabled her to have children.
7This is how it would go year after year. As often as she went up to the LORD’s house, Peninnah would offend her that way.) So she cried and refused to eat.
8Then her husband Elkanah said to her,“Hannah, why are you crying and why won’t you eat? Why are you so upset? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
9So Hannah got up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. At the time Eli the priest was sitting in his chair by the doorpost of the LORD’s sanctuary.
10As for her, she was very distressed. She prayed to the LORD and was, in fact, weeping.
11She made a vow saying,“O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, if you would truly look on the suffering of your servant, and would keep me in mind and not neglect your servant, and give your servant a male child, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life. His hair will never be cut.”
12It turned out that she did a great deal of praying before the LORD. Meanwhile Eli was watching her mouth.
13As for Hannah, she was speaking in her mind. Only her lips were moving; her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was a drunkard.
14Then he said to her,“How much longer do you intend to get drunk? Put away your wine!”
15But Hannah replied,“Not so, my lord! I am a woman under a great deal of stress. I haven’t drunk wine or beer. But I have poured out my soul before the LORD.
16Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman. It’s just that, to this point, I have spoken from my deep pain and anguish.”
17Eli replied,“Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant the request that you have asked of him.”
18She said,“May I, your servant, find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and got something to eat. Her face no longer looked sad.
19They got up early the next morning. Then they worshiped the LORD and returned to their home at Ramathaim. Elkanah was intimate with his wife Hannah, and the LORD called her to mind.
20Then Hannah became pregnant. Hannah Dedicates Samuel to the LordIn the course of time she gave birth to a son. And she named him Samuel, thinking,“I asked the LORD for him.”
21Then the man Elkanah and all his family went up to make the yearly sacrifice to the LORD and to keep his vow.
