hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of
Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, a
Ephraimite.

of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah
had no children.

daughters;

1:5 but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved
Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb.
1:6 Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her,
because the Lord had closed her womb.
1:7 It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house
of the Lord, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat.
1:8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you
weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not
better to you than ten sons?”
1:9 Then Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the
priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the
Lord.
1 Samuel 1:1-20

1:10 She, greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.
1:11 She made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed
look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not
forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I
will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and a razor shall never
come on his head.”
1:12 Now it came about, as she continued praying before the Lord,
that Eli was watching her mouth.
1:13 As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were
moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.
1:14 Then Eli said to her, “How long will you make yourself drunk?
Put away your wine from you.”
1 Samuel 1:1-20

5. 1:15 But Hannah replied, “No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in
spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out
my soul before the Lord.
1:16 Do not consider your maidservant as a worthless woman, for I
have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation.”
1:17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace; and may the God of
Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him.”
1:18 She said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the
woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
1:19Then they arose early in the morning and worshiped before the
Lord, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had
relations with Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
1:20 It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she
gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, “Because I
have asked him of the Lord.”
1 Samuel 1:1-20
