10 1 Sam. 3:3And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. 11 Then she Job 7:11made a vow and said, "O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed Gen. 28:20; Num. 30:6–11look on the affliction of Your maidservant and Ps. 25:18remember 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 Gen. 8:1no razor shall come upon his head."
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 Num. 6:5; Judg. 13:5poured out my soul before the Lord.
18 And she said, Ps. 20:3–5"Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman Gen. 33:15; Ruth 2:13went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked for him from the Lord."
