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 con gran angustia comenzó a orar al SEÑOR y a llorar desconsoladamente.
11 Entonces hizo este voto: «SEÑOR Todopoderoso, si te dignas mirar la desdicha de esta sierva tuya, y si en vez de olvidarme te acuerdas de mí y me concedes un hijo varón, yo te lo entregaré para toda su vida, y nunca se le cortará el cabello».
12 Como Ana estuvo orando largo rato ante el SEÑOR, Elí se fijó en su boca.
13 Sus labios se movían pero, debido a que Ana oraba en voz baja, no se podía oír su voz. Elí pensó que estaba borracha,
14 así que le dijo:—¿Hasta cuándo te va a durar la borrachera? ¡Deja ya el vino!
