And it came to pass, as she
continued praying before the
LORD, that
Eli marked her
mouth.

Now
Hannah, she
spake in her
heart; only her
lips moved, but her
voice was not
heard: therefore
Eli thought she had been
drunken.

And
Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be
drunken? put
away thy
wine from thee.

15
And
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.

Count not thine
handmaid for a
daughter of
Belial: for out of the
abundance of my
complaint and
grief have I
spoken hitherto.

Then
Eli answered and
said,
Go in
peace: and the
God of
Israel grant thee thy
petition that thou hast
asked of him.

And she
said, Let thine
handmaid find grace in thy
sight. So the
woman went her
way, and did
eat, and her
countenance was no more sad.

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

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

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

But
Hannah went not
up; for she
said unto her
husband, I will not go up until the
child be
weaned, and then I will
bring him, that he may
appear before the
LORD, and there
abide for ever.
