4 When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
5 but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.
6 Her rival provoked her severely, to make her fret, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.
7 [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yahweh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
8 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why don't you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Yahweh.
10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, and wept bitterly.
11 She vowed a vow, and said, "Yahweh of Armies, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a boy, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head."
12 It happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli saw her mouth.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
14 Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you."
15 Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh.
16 Don't count your handmaid for a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation."
17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him."
