1 Samuel 1:1 Now there was a certain259 man376 of Ramathaim Zophim,7436 of the hill2022 country of Ephraim,669 and his name8034 was Elkanah,511 the son1121 of Jeroham,3395 the son1121 of Elihu,453 the son1121 of Tohu,8459 the son1121 of Zuph,6689 an Ephraimite:673 cr 2 and he had two8147 wives;802 the name8034 of the one259 was Hannah,2584 and the name8034 of other8145 Peninnah:6444 and Peninnah6444 had children,3206 but Hannah2584 had no children.3206 cr 3 This1931 man376 went up5927 out of his city5892 from year to year3117 to worship7812 and to sacrifice2076 to Yahweh3068{“Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations.} of Armies6635 in Shiloh.7887 The two8147 sons1121 of Eli,5941 Hophni2652 and Phinehas,6372 priests3548 to Yahweh,3068 were there. cr 4 When the day3117 came that Elkanah511 sacrificed,2076 he gave5414 to Peninnah6444 his wife,802 and to all her sons1121 and her daughters,1323 portions:4490 cr 5 but to Hannah2584 he gave5414 a259 double639 portion;4490 for he loved157 Hannah,2584 but Yahweh3068 had shut up5462 her womb.7358 cr 6 Her rival6869 provoked3707 her severely,3708 to make her fret,7481 because Yahweh3068 had shut5462 up1157 her womb.7358 cr 7 As he did6213 so year8141 by year,8141 when1767 she went up5927 to the house1004 of Yahweh,3068 so she provoked3707 her; therefore she wept,1058 and didn't eat.398 cr 8 Elkanah511 her husband376 said559 to her, "Hannah,2584 why do you weep?1058 Why don't you eat?398 Why is your heart3824 grieved?3415 Am I not better2896 to you than ten6235 sons?"1121 cr

1 Samuel 1:9 So Hannah2584 rose up6965 after310 they had eaten398 in Shiloh,7887 and after310 they had drunk.8354 Now Eli5941 the priest3548 was sitting3427 on his seat3678 by the doorpost4201 of the temple1964 of Yahweh.3068 cr 10 She was in bitterness4751 of soul,5315 and prayed6419 to Yahweh,3068 and wept1058 bitterly.1058 cr 11 She vowed5087 a vow,5088 and said,559 "Yahweh3068 of Armies,6635 if you will indeed7200 look7200 on the affliction6040 of your handmaid,519 and remember2142 me, and not forget7911 your handmaid,519 but will give5414 to your handmaid519 a582 boy,2233 then I will give5414 him to Yahweh3068 all the days3117 of his life,2416 and no razor4177 shall come5927 on his head."7218 cr

1 Samuel 1:12 It happened, as she continued7235 praying6419 before6440 Yahweh,3068 that Eli5941 saw5941 her mouth.6310 cr 13 Now Hannah2584 spoke1696 in her heart.3820 Only her lips8193 moved,5128 but her voice6963 was not heard.8085 Therefore Eli5941 thought2803 she had been drunken.7910 cr 14 Eli5941 said559 to her, "How long will you be drunken?7937 Put away5493 your wine3196 from you." cr

1 Samuel 1:15 Hannah2584 answered,6030 "No, my lord,113 I am a woman802 of a sorrowful7186 spirit.7307 I have drunk8354 neither wine3196 nor strong drink,7941 but I poured out8210 my soul5315 before6440 Yahweh.3068 cr 16 Don't count5414 your handmaid519 for6440 a wicked1100 woman;1323 for I have been speaking1696 out of the abundance7230 of my complaint7879 and my provocation."3708 cr

1 Samuel 1:17 Then Eli5941 answered,6030 "Go3212 in peace;7965 and may the God3212{The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim).} of Israel3478 grant5414 your petition7596 that you have asked7592 of him." cr

1 Samuel 1:18 She said,559 "Let your handmaid8198 find4672 favor2580 in your sight."5869 So the woman802 went3212 her way,1870 and ate;398 and her facial expression6440 wasn't sad any more. cr 19 They rose up7925 in the morning1242 early,7925 and worshiped7812 before6440 Yahweh,3068 and returned,7725 and came935 to their house1004 to Ramah:7414 and Elkanah511 knew3045 Hannah2584 his wife;802 and Yahweh3068 remembered2142 her. cr

1 Samuel 1:20 It happened, when the time3117 had come,8622 that Hannah2584 conceived,2029 and bore3205 a son;1121 and she named7121 him8034 Samuel,8050{Samuel sounds like the Hebrew for “heard by God.”} saying, "Because I have asked7592 him of Yahweh."3068 cr

1 Samuel 1:21 The man376 Elkanah,511 and all his house,1004 went up5927 to offer2076 to Yahweh3068 the yearly3117 sacrifice,2076 and his vow.5088 cr 22 But Hannah2584 didn't go up;5927 for she said559 to her husband,376 "Not until the child5288 is weaned;1580 then I will bring935 him, that he may appear7200 before6440 Yahweh,3068 and stay3427 there5704 forever."5769 cr

1 Samuel 1:23 Elkanah511 her husband376 said559 to her, "Do6213 what seems5869 good2896 to you. Wait3427 until you have weaned1580 him; only may Yahweh3068 establish6965 his word."1697 So the woman802 waited3427 and nursed3243 her son,1121 until she weaned1580 him. cr 24 When she had weaned1580 him, she took him up5927 with her, with three7969 bulls,6499 and one259 ephah374{1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel} of meal,7058 and a bottle5035 of wine,3196 and brought935 him to Yahweh's3068 house1004 in Shiloh.7887 The child5288 was young.5288 cr 25 They killed7819 the bull,6499 and brought935 the child5288 to Eli.5941 cr 26 She said,559 "Oh,994 my lord,113 as your soul5315 lives,2416 my lord,113 I am the woman802 who stood5324 by you here, praying6419 to Yahweh.3068 cr 27 For this child5288 I prayed;6419 and Yahweh3068 has given5414 me my petition7596 which I asked7592 of him. cr 28 Therefore also I have granted7592 him to Yahweh.3068 As long as he lives3117 he is granted7592 to Yahweh."3068 He worshiped7812 Yahweh3068 there. cr
