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.
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.”
