¹ And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exults in LORD. My horn is exalted in LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in thy salvation. ² There is none holy as LORD, for there is none besides thee, neither is there any rock like our God. ³ Talk no more so very proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth, for LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. ⁴ The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength. ⁵ Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. Yea, the barren has borne seven, and she who has many sons languishes. ⁶ LORD kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. ⁷ LORD makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up. ⁸ He raises up the poor out of the dust, he lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with rulers, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are LORD's, and he has set the world upon them. ⁹ He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness, for by strength no man shall prevail. ¹⁰ Those who strive with LORD shall be broken to pieces.

¹ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill-country of Ephraim. And his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. ² And he had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. ³ And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to LORD, were there. ⁴ And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions, ⁵ but to Hannah he gave a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but LORD had shut up her womb. ⁶ And her rival provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because LORD had shut up her womb. ⁷ And as he did so year by year when she went up to the house of LORD, so she provoked her. Therefore she wept, and did not eat. ⁸ And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why do thou weep? And why do thou not eat? And why is thy heart grieved? Am not I better to thee than ten sons? ⁹ So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of LORD. 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. ¹⁹ And they rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and LORD remembered her. ²⁰ And it came to pass, when the time came about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of LORD. ²¹ And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. ²² But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, Not until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before LORD, and abide there forever. ²³ And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to thee. Remain until thou have weaned him, only LORD establish his word. So the woman remained and gave her son suck, until she weaned him. ²⁴ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of LORD in Shiloh, and the child was young. ²⁵ And they killed the bullock, and brought the child to Eli. ²⁶ And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by thee here, praying to LORD. ²⁷ I prayed for this child, and LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him. ²⁸ Therefore also I have granted him to LORD; as long as he lives he is granted to LORD. And he worshiped LORD there.

All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took with it. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. ¹⁵ And before they burned the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have boiled flesh from thee, but raw. ¹⁶ And if the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desires, then he would say, No, but thou shall give it to me now, and if not, I will take it by force. ¹⁷ And the sin of the young men was very great before LORD, for the men despised the offering of LORD. ¹⁸ But Samuel ministered before LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. ¹⁹ Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. ²⁰ And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, LORD give thee seed by this woman for the petition which was asked of LORD. And they went to their own home. ²¹ And LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before LORD. ²² Now Eli was very old. And he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how that they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tent of meeting. ²³ And he said to them, Why do ye such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all this people. ²⁴ No, my sons, for it is no good report that I hear. Ye make LORD's people to transgress. ²⁵ If one man sins against another, God shall judge him, but if a man sins against LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they did not hearken to the voice of their father, because LORD intended to kill them. ²⁶ And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with LORD, and also with men. ²⁷ And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus says LORD, Did I reveal myself to the house of thy father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house? ²⁸ And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? And did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire? ²⁹ Why do ye kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chief of all the offerings of Israel my people? ³⁰ Therefore LORD, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever, but now LORD says, Be it far from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. ³¹ Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house. ³² And thou shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all that I shall give Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house forever. ³³ And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart. And all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age. ³⁴ And this shall be the sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: In one day they shall die, both of them. ³⁵ And I will raise up for me a faithful priest who shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build for him a sure house, and he shall walk before my anointed forever. ³⁶ And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices that I may eat a morsel of bread.
