Context of 1 Samuel 1:14
12While she continued praying in the Lord’s presence, Eli watched her mouth. 13Hannah was praying silently, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “How long are you going to be drunk? Get rid of your wine!” 15“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman with a broken heart. I haven’t had any wine or beer; I’ve been pouring out my heart before the Lord. 16Don’t think of me as a wicked woman; I’ve been praying from the depth of my anguish and resentment.”

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 1:14
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-18Verses 9-18 Hannah mingled tears with her prayers; she considered the mercy of our God, who knows the troubled soul. God gives us leave, in prayer, not only to ask good things in general, but to mention that special good thing we most need and desire. She spoke softly, none could hear her.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 12-1812-18.
