1 Samuel 1:1 Now there was a certain259 man376 of Ramathaimzophim,7436 of mount2022 Ephraim,669 and his name8034was Elkanah,511 the son1121 of Jeroham,3395 the son1121 of Elihu,453 the son1121 of Tohu,8459 the son1121 of Zuph,6689 an Ephrathite:6732 And he had two8147 wives;802 the name8034 of the one259was Hannah,2584 and the name8034 of the other8145 Peninnah:6444 and Peninnah6444 had children,3206 but Hannah2584 had no children.32063 And this1931 man376 went up5927 out of his city5892 yearly31173117{Heb. from year to year} to worship7812 and to sacrifice2076 unto the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Shiloh.7887 And the two8147 sons1121 of Eli,5941 Hophni2652 and Phinehas,6372 the priests3548 of the LORD,3068were there.
1 Samuel 1:4 And when the time3117 was that Elkanah511 offered,2076 he gave5414 to Peninnah6444 his wife,802 and to all her sons1121 and her daughters,1323 portions:44905 But unto Hannah2584 he gave5414 a259 worthy639 portion;4490{Or, a double portion} for he loved157 Hannah:2584 but the LORD3068 had shut up5462 her womb.73586 And her adversary6869 also provoked3707 her{Heb. angered her} sore,3708 for to make her fret,7481 because the LORD3068 had shut5462 up1157 her womb.73587 And as he did6213 so year8141 by year,8141 when1767 she went up5927{Heb. from her going up: Or, from the time that she, etc} to the house1004 of the LORD,3068 so she provoked3707 her; therefore she wept,1058 and did not eat.3988 Then said559 Elkanah511 her husband376 to her, Hannah,2584 why weepest1058 thou? and why eatest398 thou not? and why is thy heart3824 grieved?3415am not I better2896 to thee than ten6235 sons?1121
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 sat3427 upon a seat3678 by a post4201 of the temple1964 of the LORD.306810 And she was in bitterness4751 of soul,5315{Heb. bitter of soul} and prayed6419 unto the LORD,3068 and wept1058 sore.105811 And she vowed5087 a vow,5088 and said,559 O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 if thou wilt indeed7200 look7200 on the affliction6040 of thine handmaid,519 and remember2142 me, and not forget7911 thine handmaid,519 but wilt give5414 unto thine handmaid519 a man582 child,2233{Heb. seed of men} then I will give5414 him unto the LORD3068 all the days3117 of his life,2416 and there shall no razor4177 come5927 upon his head.7218
1 Samuel 1:12 And it came to pass, as she continued7235 praying6419{Heb. multiplied to pray} before6440 the LORD,3068 that Eli5941 marked8104 her mouth.631013 Now Hannah,2584 she spake1696 in her heart;3820 only her lips8193 moved,5128 but her voice6963 was not heard:8085 therefore Eli5941 thought2803 she had been drunken.791014 And Eli5941 said559 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken?7937 put away5493 thy wine3196 from thee.
15 And Hannah2584 answered6030 and said,559 No, my lord,113 I am a woman802 of a sorrowful7186 spirit:7307{Heb. hard of spirit} I have drunk8354 neither wine3196 nor strong drink,7941 but have poured out8210 my soul5315 before6440 the LORD.306816 Count5414 not thine handmaid519 for6440 a daughter1323 of Belial:1100 for out of the abundance7230 of my complaint7879{Or, meditation} and grief3708 have I spoken1696 hitherto.
17 Then Eli5941 answered6030 and said,559 Go3212 in peace:7965 and the God430 of Israel3478 grant5414thee thy petition7596 that thou hast asked7592 of him.
18 And she said,559 Let thine handmaid8198 find4672 grace2580 in thy sight.5869 So the woman802 went3212 her way,1870 and did eat,398 and her countenance6440 was no more sad.
1 Samuel 1:19 And they rose up79252794 in the morning1242 early,7925 and worshipped7812 before6440 the LORD,3068 and returned,7725 and came935 to their house1004 to Ramah:7414 and Elkanah511 knew3045 Hannah2584 his wife;802 and the LORD3068 remembered2142 her.
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time3117 was come8622 about{Heb. revelation of days} after Hannah2584 had conceived,2029 that she bare3205 a son,1121 and called7121 his name8034 Samuel,8050{That is, asked of God}saying, Because I have asked7592 him of the LORD.306821 And the man376 Elkanah,511 and all his house,1004 went up5927 to offer2076 unto the LORD3068 the yearly3117 sacrifice,2077 and his vow.508822 But Hannah2584 went not up;5927 for she said559 unto her husband,376Iwillnotgoup until the child5288 be weaned,1580 and then I will bring935 him, that he may appear7200 before6440 the LORD,3068 and there abide3427 for5704 ever.576923 And Elkanah511 her husband376 said559 unto her, Do6213 what seemeth5869 thee good;2896 tarry3427 until thou have weaned1580 him; only the LORD3068 establish6965 his word.1697 So the woman802 abode,3427 and gave her son1121 suck3243 until she weaned1580 him.
1 Samuel 1:24 And when she had weaned1580 him, she took him up5927 with her, with three7969 bullocks,6499 and one259 ephah374 of flour,7058 and a bottle5035 of wine,3196 and brought935 him unto the house1004 of the LORD3068 in Shiloh:7887 and the child5288was young.528825 And they slew7819 a bullock,6499 and brought935 the child5288 to Eli.594126 And she said,559 Oh994 my lord,113as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 my lord,113 I am the woman802 that stood5324 by thee here, praying6419 unto the LORD.306827 For this child5288 I prayed;6419 and the LORD3068 hath given5414 me my petition7596 which I asked7592 of him:
28 Therefore also I have lent7592 him to the LORD;3068{Or, returned him, whom I have obtained by petition to the LORD} as long as he liveth3117 he shall be lent7592 to the LORD.3068{Or, he whom I have obtained by petiotion, shall be returned} And he worshipped7812 the LORD3068 there.
