1 Samuel 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 1:12

And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord,
&c.] Being very earnest and importunate with him to grant her request, and therefore repeated her petition, and prolonged her prayer, being unwilling to let the Lord go, until she had a promise, or some satisfaction, that she should have the thing she liked; some think she continued an hour in prayer:

that Eli marked her mouth;
observed the motion of her lips, and no doubt her distorted countenance, and uplifted eyes and hands, but chiefly the former; not knowing what the woman was at, and what could be the meaning of such motions.

1 Samuel 1:12 In-Context

10 ella, muy angustiada, oraba al SEÑOR y lloraba amargamente.
11 E hizo voto y dijo: Oh SEÑOR de los ejércitos, si tú te dignas mirar la aflicción de tu sierva, te acuerdas de mí y no te olvidas de tu sierva, sino que das un hijo a tu sierva, yo lo dedicaré al SEÑOR por todos los días de su vida y nunca pasará navaja sobre su cabeza.
12 Y mientras ella continuaba en oración delante del SEÑOR, Elí le estaba observando la boca.
13 Pero Ana hablaba en su corazón, sólo sus labios se movían y su voz no se oía. Elí, pues, pensó que estaba ebria.
14 Entonces Elí le dijo: ¿Hasta cuándo estarás embriagada? Echa de ti tu vino.
