10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept sorely.

11 And she vowed a vow and said, O, Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look upon the affliction of Your handmaid and remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, but will give to Your handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

12 And it happened as she continued praying before the LORD, Eli noticed her mouth.

13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart, only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. And Eli thought she had become drunk.

14 And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you!

15 And Hannah answered, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have neither drunk wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

16 Do not count your handmaid for a daughter of wickedness, for out of the abundance of my meditation and grief I have spoken until now.

17 And Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant [to you] your petition that you have asked of Him.

18 And she said, Let your handmaid find grace in your sight. So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer [sad].

19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

20 And it happened when the time had come around, Hannah conceived and bore a son and called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD.
