1 Samuel 1:16 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Samuel 1:16

14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!”

15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have ^apoured out my soul before the Lord.

16 “Do not consider your maidservant a ^awicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”

17 Then Eli answered and said, ^a“Go in peace, and ^bthe God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.”

18 And she said, ^a“Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman ^bwent her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
