1 # Now there was a certain <0259> man <0376> of Ramathaimzophim <07436>, of mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>, and his name <08034> was Elkanah <0511>, the son <01121> of Jeroham <03395>, the son <01121> of Elihu <0453>, the son <01121> of Tohu <08459>, the son <01121> of Zuph <06689>, an Ephrathite <0673>:
2 And he had two <08147> wives <0802>; the name <08034> of the one <0259> was Hannah <02584>, and the name <08034> of the other <08145> Peninnah <06444>: and Peninnah <06444> had children <03206>, but Hannah <02584> had no children <03206>.
3 And this <01931> man <0376> went up <05927> (8804) out of his city <05892> yearly <03117> <03117> to worship <07812> (8692) and to sacrifice <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in Shiloh <07887>. And the two <08147> sons <01121> of Eli <05941>, Hophni <02652> and Phinehas <06372>, the priests <03548> of the LORD <03068>, were there.
4 And when the time <03117> was that Elkanah <0511> offered <02076> (8799), he gave <05414> (8804) to Peninnah <06444> his wife <0802>, and to all her sons <01121> and her daughters <01323>, portions <04490>:
5 But unto Hannah <02584> he gave <05414> (8799) a <0259> worthy <0639> portion <04490>; for he loved <0157> (8804) Hannah <02584>: but the LORD <03068> had shut up <05462> (8804) her womb <07358>.
6 And her adversary <06869> also provoked <03707> (8765) her sore <03708>, for to make her fret <07481> (8687) , because the LORD <03068> had shut <05462> (8804) up <01157> her womb <07358>.
7 And as he did <06213> (8799) so year <08141> by year <08141>, when <01767> she went up <05927> (8800) to the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, so she provoked <03707> (8686) her; therefore she wept <01058> (8799) , and did not eat <0398> (8799).
8 Then said <0559> (8799) Elkanah <0511> her husband <0376> to her, Hannah <02584>, why weepest <01058> (8799) thou? and why eatest <0398> (8799) thou not? and why is thy heart <03824> grieved <03415> (8799)? am not I better <02896> to thee than ten <06235> sons <01121>?
9 # So Hannah <02584> rose up <06965> (8799) after <0310> they had eaten <0398> (8800) in Shiloh <07887>, and after <0310> they had drunk <08354> (8800). Now Eli <05941> the priest <03548> sat <03427> (8802) upon a seat <03678> by a post <04201> of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>.
10 And she was in bitterness <04751> of soul <05315>, and prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>, and wept <01058> (8799) sore <01058> (8800).
11 And she vowed <05087> (8799) a vow <05088>, and said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, if thou wilt indeed <07200> (8800) look <07200> (8799) on the affliction <06040> of thine handmaid <0519>, and remember <02142> (8804) me, and not forget <07911> (8799) thine handmaid <0519>, but wilt give <05414> (8804) unto thine handmaid <0519> a man <0582> child <02233>, then I will give <05414> (8804) him unto the LORD <03068> all the days <03117> of his life <02416>, and there shall no razor <04177> come <05927> (8799) upon his head <07218>.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued <07235> (8689) praying <06419> (8692) before <06440> the LORD <03068> , that Eli <05941> marked <08104> (8802) her mouth <06310>.
13 Now Hannah <02584>, she spake <01696> (8764) in her heart <03820>; only her lips <08193> moved <05128> (8801), but her voice <06963> was not heard <08085> (8735): therefore Eli <05941> thought <02803> (8799) she had been drunken <07910>.
14 And Eli <05941> said <0559> (8799) unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken <07937> (8691)? put away <05493> (8685) thy wine <03196> from thee.
15 And Hannah <02584> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), No, my lord <0113>, I am a woman <0802> of a sorrowful <07186> spirit <07307>: I have drunk <08354> (8804) neither wine <03196> nor strong drink <07941>, but have poured out <08210> (8799) my soul <05315> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
16 Count <05414> (8799) not thine handmaid <0519> for <06440> a daughter <01323> of Belial <01100>: for out of the abundance <07230> of my complaint <07879> and grief <03708> have I spoken <01696> (8765) hitherto.
17 Then Eli <05941> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), Go <03212> (8798) in peace <07965>: and the God <0430> of Israel <03478> grant <05414> (8799) thee thy petition <07596> that thou hast asked <07592> (8804) of him.
18 And she said <0559> (8799), Let thine handmaid <08198> find <04672> (8799) grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>. So the woman <0802> went <03212> (8799) her way <01870>, and did eat <0398> (8799), and her countenance <06440> was no more sad.
19 # And they rose up <07925> <00> in the morning <01242> early <07925> (8686), and worshipped <07812> (8691) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and returned <07725> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) to their house <01004> to Ramah <07414>: and Elkanah <0511> knew <03045> (8799) Hannah <02584> his wife <0802>; and the LORD <03068> remembered <02142> (8799) her.
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time <03117> was come <08622> about after Hannah <02584> had conceived <02029> (8799), that she bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>, and called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Samuel <08050> , saying, Because I have asked <07592> (8804) him of the LORD <03068>.
21 And the man <0376> Elkanah <0511>, and all his house <01004>, went up <05927> (8799) to offer <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> the yearly <03117> sacrifice <02077>, and his vow <05088>.
22 But Hannah <02584> went not up <05927> (8804); for she said <0559> (8804) unto her husband <0376> , I will not go up until the child <05288> be weaned <01580> (8735), and then I will bring <0935> (8689) him, that he may appear <07200> (8738) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and there abide <03427> (8804) for <05704> ever <05769> .
23 And Elkanah <0511> her husband <0376> said <0559> (8799) unto her, Do <06213> (8798) what seemeth <05869> thee good <02896>; tarry <03427> (8798) until thou have weaned <01580> (8800) him; only the LORD <03068> establish <06965> (8686) his word <01697>. So the woman <0802> abode <03427> (8799), and gave her son <01121> suck <03243> (8686) until she weaned <01580> (8800) him.
24 And when she had weaned <01580> (8804) him, she took him up <05927> (8686) with her, with three <07969> bullocks <06499>, and one <0259> ephah <0374> of flour <07058>, and a bottle <05035> of wine <03196>, and brought <0935> (8686) him unto the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> in Shiloh <07887>: and the child <05288> was young <05288>.
25 And they slew <07819> (8799) a bullock <06499>, and brought <0935> (8686) the child <05288> to Eli <05941>.
26 And she said <0559> (8799), Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, as thy soul <05315> liveth <02416> , my lord <0113>, I am the woman <0802> that stood <05324> (8737) by thee here, praying <06419> (8692) unto the LORD <03068>.
27 For this child <05288> I prayed <06419> (8694); and the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8799) me my petition <07596> which I asked <07592> (8804) of him:
28 Therefore also I have lent <07592> (8689) him to the LORD <03068>; as long as he liveth <03117> he shall be lent <07592> (8803) to the LORD <03068>. And he worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068> there.
