1 Samuel 1:16

16 Don't think I am an evil woman. I have been praying because I have many troubles and am very sad."

1 Samuel 1:16 In-Context

14 and said to her, "Stop getting drunk! Throw away your wine!"
15 Hannah answered, "No, sir, I have not drunk any wine or beer. I am a deeply troubled woman, and I was telling the Lord about all my problems.
16 Don't think I am an evil woman. I have been praying because I have many troubles and am very sad."
17 Eli answered, "Go! I wish you well. May the God of Israel give you what you asked of him."
18 Hannah said, "May I always please you." When she left and ate something, she was not sad anymore.
