1 Samuel 1:9

7 So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.

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.”
