1 Samuel 1:10-18

ACV(i) 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to LORD, and wept much. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou will indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but will give to thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before LORD, that Eli noticed her mouth. 13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 And Eli said to her, How long will thou be drunken? Put away thy wine from thee. 15 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 I poured out my soul before LORD. 16 Count not thy handmaid for an iniquitous woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken until now. 17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou have asked of him. 18 And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more sad.
