09:001:007 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house
           of the lord, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did
           not eat.

09:001:008 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest
           thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved?
           am not I better to thee than ten sons?

09:001:009 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after
           they had drunk.  Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post
           of the temple of the lord.

09:001:010 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the lord,
           and wept sore.

09:001:011 And she vowed a vow, and said, O lord of hosts, if thou wilt
           indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember
           me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine
           handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the lord all
           the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his
           head.

09:001:012 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the lord,
           that Eli marked her mouth.

09:001:013 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but
           her voice was not heard:  therefore Eli thought she had been
           drunken.

09:001:014 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away
           thy wine from thee.

09:001:015 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a
           sorrowful spirit:  I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink,
           but have poured out my soul before the lord.

09:001:016 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial:  for out of
           the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken
           hitherto.

09:001:017 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace:  and the God of Israel
           grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

09:001:018 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight.  So
           the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was
           no more sad.

09:001:019 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before
           the lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah:  and
           Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the lord remembered her.

09:001:020 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after
           Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name
           Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the lord.

09:001:021 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto
           the lord the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

09:001:022 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will
           not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring
           him, that he may appear before the lord, and there abide for
           ever.
