1	Now there was a certain259 man376 of Ramathaimzophim7436 , of mount2022 Ephraim669 , and his name8034 was Elkanah511 , the son1121 of Jeroham3395 , the son1121 of Elihu453 , the son1121 of Tohu8459 , the son1121 of Zuph6689 , an Ephrathite673 :
			2	And he had two8147 wives802 ; the name8034 of the one259 was Hannah2584 , and the name8034 of the other8145 Peninnah6444 : and Peninnah6444 had children3206 , but Hannah2584 had no children3206 .
			3	And this1931 man376 went up5927 8804 out of his city5892 yearly3117 3117 to worship7812 8692 and to sacrifice2076 8800 unto the LORD3068 of hosts6635 in Shiloh7887 . And the two8147 sons1121 of Eli5941 , Hophni2652 and Phinehas6372 , the priests3548 of the LORD3068 , were there. [yearly: Heb. from year to year]
			4	And when the time3117 was that Elkanah511 offered2076 8799 , he gave5414 8804 to Peninnah6444 his wife802 , and to all her sons1121 and her daughters1323 , portions4490 :
			5	But unto Hannah2584 he gave5414 8799 a259 worthy639 portion4490 ; for he loved157 8804 Hannah2584 : but the LORD3068 had shut up5462 8804 her womb7358 . [worthy: or, double]
			6	And her adversary6869 also provoked3707 8765 her sore3708 , for to make her fret7481 8687 , because the LORD3068 had shut5462 8804 up1157 her womb7358 . [provoked: Heb. angered]
			7	And as he did6213 8799 so year8141 by year8141 , when1767 she went up5927 8800 to the house1004 of the LORD3068 , so she provoked3707 8686 her; therefore she wept1058 8799 , and did not eat398 8799 . [when...: or, from the time that she, etc: Heb. from her going up]
			8	Then said559 8799 Elkanah511 her husband376 to her, Hannah2584 , why weepest1058 8799 thou? and why eatest398 8799 thou not? and why is thy heart3824 grieved3415 8799 ? am not I better2896 to thee than ten6235 sons1121 ?
			9	So Hannah2584 rose up6965 8799 after310 they had eaten398 8800 in Shiloh7887 , and after310 they had drunk8354 8800 . Now Eli5941 the priest3548 sat3427 8802 upon a seat3678 by a post4201 of the temple1964 of the LORD3068 .
			10	And she was in bitterness4751 of soul5315 , and prayed6419 8691 unto the LORD3068 , and wept1058 8799 sore1058 8800 . [in...: Heb. bitter of soul]
			11	And she vowed5087 8799 a vow5088 , and said559 8799 , O LORD3068 of hosts6635 , if thou wilt indeed7200 8800 look7200 8799 on the affliction6040 of thine handmaid519 , and remember2142 8804 me, and not forget7911 8799 thine handmaid519 , but wilt give5414 8804 unto thine handmaid519 a man582 child2233 , then I will give5414 8804 him unto the LORD3068 all the days3117 of his life2416 , and there shall no razor4177 come5927 8799 upon his head7218 . [a man...: Heb. seed of men]
			12	And it came to pass, as she continued7235 8689 praying6419 8692 before6440 the LORD3068 , that Eli5941 marked8104 8802 her mouth6310 . [continued...: Heb. multiplied to pray]
			13	Now Hannah2584 , she spake1696 8764 in her heart3820 ; only her lips8193 moved5128 8801 , but her voice6963 was not heard8085 8735 : therefore Eli5941 thought2803 8799 she had been drunken7910 .
			14	And Eli5941 said559 8799 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken7937 8691 ? put away5493 8685 thy wine3196 from thee.
			15	And Hannah2584 answered6030 8799 and said559 8799 , No, my lord113 , I am a woman802 of a sorrowful7186 spirit7307 : I have drunk8354 8804 neither wine3196 nor strong drink7941 , but have poured out8210 8799 my soul5315 before6440 the LORD3068 . [of a sorrowful...: Heb. hard of spirit]
			16	Count5414 8799 not thine handmaid519 for6440 a daughter1323 of Belial1100 : for out of the abundance7230 of my complaint7879 and grief3708 have I spoken1696 8765 hitherto. [complaint: or, meditation]
			17	Then Eli5941 answered6030 8799 and said559 8799 , Go3212 8798 in peace7965 : and the God430 of Israel3478 grant5414 8799 thee thy petition7596 that thou hast asked7592 8804 of him.
			18	And she said559 8799 , Let thine handmaid8198 find4672 8799 grace2580 in thy sight5869 . So the woman802 went3212 8799 her way1870 , and did eat398 8799 , and her countenance6440 was no more sad .
			19	And they rose up7925 0 in the morning1242 early7925 8686 , and worshipped7812 8691 before6440 the LORD3068 , and returned7725 8799 , and came935 8799 to their house1004 to Ramah7414 : and Elkanah511 knew3045 8799 Hannah2584 his wife802 ; and the LORD3068 remembered2142 8799 her.
			20	Wherefore it came to pass, when the time3117 was come8622 about after Hannah2584 had conceived2029 8799 , that she bare3205 8799 a son1121 , and called7121 8799 his name8034 Samuel8050 , saying , Because I have asked7592 8804 him of the LORD3068 . [when...: Heb. in revolution of days] [Samuel: that is, Asked of God]
			21	And the man376 Elkanah511 , and all his house1004 , went up5927 8799 to offer2076 8800 unto the LORD3068 the yearly3117 sacrifice2077 , and his vow5088 .
			22	But Hannah2584 went not up5927 8804 ; for she said559 8804 unto her husband376 , I will not go up until the child5288 be weaned1580 8735 , and then I will bring935 8689 him, that he may appear7200 8738 before6440 the LORD3068 , and there abide3427 8804 for5704 ever5769 .
			23	And Elkanah511 her husband376 said559 8799 unto her, Do6213 8798 what seemeth5869 thee good2896 ; tarry3427 8798 until thou have weaned1580 8800 him; only the LORD3068 establish6965 8686 his word1697 . So the woman802 abode3427 8799 , and gave her son1121 suck3243 8686 until she weaned1580 8800 him.
			24	And when she had weaned1580 8804 him, she took him up5927 8686 with her, with three7969 bullocks6499 , and one259 ephah374 of flour7058 , and a bottle5035 of wine3196 , and brought935 8686 him unto the house1004 of the LORD3068 in Shiloh7887 : and the child5288 was young5288 .
			25	And they slew7819 8799 a bullock6499 , and brought935 8686 the child5288 to Eli5941 .
			26	And she said559 8799 , Oh994 my lord113 , as thy soul5315 liveth2416 , my lord113 , I am the woman802 that stood5324 8737 by thee here, praying6419 8692 unto the LORD3068 .
			27	For this child5288 I prayed6419 8694 ; and the LORD3068 hath given5414 8799 me my petition7596 which I asked7592 8804 of him:
			28	Therefore also I have lent7592 8689 him to the LORD3068 ; as long as he liveth3117 he shall be lent7592 8803 to the LORD3068 . And he worshipped7812 8691 the LORD3068 there. [lent him: or, returned him, whom I have obtained by petition] [he shall...: or, he whom I have obtained by petition shall be returned]
