1 Samuel 1:9-18

9So HannahH2584 roseH6965 up after they had eatenH398 in ShilohH7887, and after they had drunkH8354. Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 was sittingH3427 upon his seatH3678 by the door-post of the templeH1964 of Jehovah. 10And she was in bitternessH4751 of soulH5315, and prayedH6419 unto Jehovah, and weptH1058 sore. 11And she vowedH5087 a vowH5088, and saidH559, O Jehovah of hostsH6635, if thou wilt indeed lookH7200 on the affliction of thy handmaid, and rememberH2142 me, and not forgetH7911 thy handmaid, but wilt giveH5414 unto thy handmaid a man-child, then I will giveH5414 him unto Jehovah all the daysH3117 of his life, and there shall no razor comeH5927 upon his headH7218.

12And it came to pass, as she continued prayingH6419 before Jehovah, that EliH5941 marked her mouthH6310. 13Now HannahH2584, she spake in her heartH3820; onlyH7535 her lipsH8193 moved, but her voiceH6963 was not heardH8085: therefore EliH5941 thought she had been drunkenH7910. 14And EliH5941 saidH559 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put awayH5493 thy wineH3196 from thee. 15And HannahH2584 answered and saidH559, No, my lord, I am a womanH802 of a sorrowful spiritH7307: I have drunkH8354 neither wineH3196 nor strongH7941 drinkH8354, but I pouredH8210 out my soulH5315 before Jehovah. 16Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundanceH7230 of my complaintH7879 and my provocation have I spokenH1696 hitherto. 17Then EliH5941 answered and saidH559, Go in peaceH7965; and the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 grant thy petitionH7596 that thou hast askedH7592 of him. 18And she saidH559, Let thy handmaid findH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight. So the womanH802 went her wayH1870, and did eatH398; and her countenance wasH1961 no more sad.
