And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas were priests to the LORD there. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had closed her womb. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>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?” <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>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. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And she, greatly distressed, prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And she made a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if Thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of Thy maidservant and remember me, and not forget Thy maidservant, but wilt give Thy 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.” <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Now it came about, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli was watching her mouth. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>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. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then Eli said to her, “How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>But Hannah answered and said, “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. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>“Do not consider your maidservant as a worthless woman; for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer <i>sad.</i> <p><b><i>Samuel Is Born to Hannah</i></b><p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Then 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>And it came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, <i>saying,</i> “Because I have asked him of the LORD.” <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and <i>pay</i> his vow. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “<i>I will not go up</i> until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and stay there forever.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, although the child was young. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Then they slaughtered the bull, and brought the boy to Eli. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>And she said, “Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>“For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/1_samuel/1-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>“So I have also dedicated him to the LORD; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
