Hannah’s Vow
8 Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not abetter to you than ten sons?”
9 So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of athe tabernacle of the Lord.
10 aAnd she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and1 wept in anguish.
11 Then she amade a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed blook on the affliction of Your maidservant and cremember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and dno razor shall come upon his head.”
12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
