1 Samuel 1:10-17

10And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto Yhwh, and wept sore.1

11And she vowed a vow, and said, O Yhwh of Armies, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto Yhwh all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.2

12And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Yhwh, that Eli marked her mouth.3

13Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

14And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

15And 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 Yhwh.4

16Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.5

17Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
