1
Now there was a certain
man
of Ramathaimzophim
,
of mount
Ephraim
,
and his name
was
Elkanah
,
the son
of Jeroham
,
the son
of Elihu
,
the son
of Tohu
,
the son
of Zuph
,
an Ephrathite
:
2
And he
had
two
wives
;
the name
of the one
was
Hannah
,
and
the name
of the other
Peninnah
:
and
Peninnah
had
children
,
but Hannah
had
no children
.
3
And this
man
went up
out of his city
yearly
to worship
and to sacrifice
unto the LORD
of hosts
in Shiloh
.
And the two
sons
of Eli
,
Hophni
and Phinehas
,
the priests
of the LORD
,
were
there
.
4
And when the time
was that Elkanah
offered
,
he gave
to Peninnah
his wife
,
and to
all
her sons
and her daughters
,
portions
:
5
But unto
Hannah
he gave
a
worthy
portion
;
for he loved
Hannah
:
but the LORD
had shut up
her womb
.
6
And her adversary
also provoked
her sore,
for to make her fret
,
because the LORD
had shut
up
her womb
.
7
And
as
he did
so year
by year
,
when
she went up
to the house
of the LORD
,
so she provoked
her; therefore she wept,
and did not eat
.
8
Then said
Elkanah
her husband
to her, Hannah,
why
weepest
thou?
and
why
eatest
thou not?
and
why
is thy heart
grieved?
am
not I better
to thee than ten
sons?
9
So Hannah
rose up
after
they had eaten
in Shiloh
, and
after
they had drunk
.
Now Eli
the priest
sat
upon a seat
by a post
of the temple
of the LORD
.
10
And she
was
in bitterness
of soul,
and prayed
unto the LORD
,
and wept
sore
.
11
And she vowed
a vow
,
and said
,
O LORD
of hosts
,
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 the LORD
all
the days
of his l
if
e, and there sh
all
no rasor
come
upon his head
.
12
And it
came
to pass, as she continued
praying
before
the LORD
,
that Eli
marked
her mouth
.
13
Now Hannah
,
she
spake
in her heart
;
only her lips
moved
,
but her voice
was not heard
:
therefore Eli
thought
she
had been drunken.
14
And Eli
said
unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken
? put away
thy wine
from thee.
15
And 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
the LORD
.
16
Count
not thine handmaid
for
a daughter
of Belial
:
for out of the abundance
of my complaint
and grief
have I spoken
hitherto.
17
Then Eli
answered
and said
,
Go
in peace
:
and the
Go
d
of Israel
grant
thee
thy petition
that thou hast asked
of him.
18
And she said
,
Let thine handmaid
find
grace
in thy sight
.
So the woman
went
her way
,
and did eat
,
and her countenance
was no
more
sad
.
19
And they rose up
in the morning
early
,
and worshipped
before
the LORD
,
and returned
, and came
to their house
to Ramah
:
and Elkanah
knew
Hannah
his wife
;
and
the LORD
remembered
her.
20
Wherefore it
came
to pass, when the time
was come
about after Hannah
had conceived
,
that she bare
a son
,
and called
his name
Samuel
,
saying
,
Because
I have asked
him of the LORD
.
21
And the man
Elkanah
,
and
all
his house
,
went up
to offer
unto the LORD
the yearly
sacrifice
,
and his vow
.
22
But Hannah
went not up
;
for
she said
unto her husband
,
I will not go up
until
the child
be weaned
,
and
then
I will bring
him, that he may appear
be
for
e
the LORD
,
and
there
abide
for
ever.
23
And Elkanah
her husband
said
unto her, Do what seemeth
thee good
;
tarry
until
thou have weaned
him;
only
the LORD
establish
his word
.
So the woman
abode
,
and gave her son
suck
until
she weaned him.
24
And when she had weaned
him, she took him up with her, with three
bullocks
,
and one
ephah
of flour
,
and a bottle
of wine
,
and brought
him unto the house
of the LORD
in Shiloh
:
and the child
was
young
.
25
And they slew
a bullock
,
and brought
the child
to Eli
.
26
And she said
,
Oh
my lord
,
as
thy soul
liveth
,
my lord
,
I
am
the woman
that stood
by thee
here
, praying
unto the LORD
.
27
For
this
child
I prayed
;
and the LORD
hath given
me my petition
which
I asked
of him:
28
T
he
refore also I have lent
him
to
t
he
LORD
; as long as
he
liveth
he
shall be lent
to
t
he
LORD
. And
he
worshipped
t
he
LORD
t
he
re
.
