V.1 Now there was a certain 259 man 376 of Ramathaimzophim, 7413|6822|7436 of mount 2022 Ephraim, 669 and his name 8034 [was] Elkanah, 511 the son 1121 of Jeroham, 3395 the son 1121 of Elihu, 453 the son 1121 of Tohu, 8459 the son 1121 of Zuph, 6689 an Ephrathite: 673

1:2 And he had two 8147 wives; 802 the name 8034 of the one 259 [was] Hannah, 2584 and the name 8034 of the other 8145 Peninnah: 6444 and Peninnah 6444 had children, 3206 but Hannah 2584 had no children. 3206

1:3 And this 1931 man 376 went up 5927-1 out of his city 5892 yearly 3117 3117 to worship 7812-99 and to sacrifice 2076-2 unto the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 in Shiloh. 7887 And the two 8147 sons 1121 of Eli, 5941 Hophni 2652 and Phinehas, 6372 the priests 3548 of the LORD, 3068 [were] there.

1:4 And when the time 3117 was that Elkanah 511 offered, 2076-4 he gave 5414-1 to Peninnah 6444 his wife, 802 and to all her sons 1121 and her daughters, 1323 portions: 4490

1:5 But unto Hannah 2584 he gave 5414-4 a 259 worthy 639 portion; 4490 for he loved 157-1 Hannah: 2584 but the LORD 3068 had shut up 5462-1 her womb. 7358

1:6 And her adversary 6869 also provoked 3707-14 her sore, 3708 for to make her fret, 7481-53 because the LORD 3068 had shut 5462-1 up 1157 her womb. 7358

1:7 And [as] he did 6213-4 so year 8141 by year, 8141 when 1767 she went up 5927-2 to the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 so she provoked 3707-55 her; therefore she wept, 1058-4 and did not eat. 398-4

1:8 Then said 559-4 Elkanah 511 her husband 376 to her, Hannah, 2584 why weepest 1058-4 thou? and why eatest 398-4 thou not? and why is thy heart 3824 grieved? 3415-4 [am] not I better 2896 to thee than ten 6235 sons? 1121

1:9 So Hannah 2584 rose up 6965-4 after 310 they had eaten 398-2 in Shiloh, 7887 and after 310 they had drunk. 8354-2 Now Eli 5941 the priest 3548 sat 3427-6 upon a seat 3678 by a post 4201 of the temple 1964 of the LORD. 3068

1:10 And she [was] in bitterness 4751 of soul, 5315 and prayed 6419-101 unto the LORD, 3068 and wept 1058-4 sore. 1058-2

1:11 And she vowed 5087-4 a vow, 5088 and said, 559-4 O LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 if thou wilt indeed 7200-2 look 7200-4 on the affliction 6040 of thine handmaid, 519 and remember 2142- 1 me, and not forget 7911-4 thine handmaid, 519 but wilt give 5414-1 unto thine handmaid 519 a man 582 child, 2233 then I will give 5414-1 him unto the LORD 3068 all the days 3117 of his life, 2416 and there shall no razor 4177 come 5927-4 upon his head. 7218

1:12 And it came to pass, as she continued 7235-52 praying 6419-99 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 that Eli 5941 marked 8104- 6 her mouth. 6310

1:13 Now Hannah, 2584 she spake 1696-18 in her heart; 3820 only her lips 8193 moved, 5128-5 but her voice 6963 was not heard: 8085-11 therefore Eli 5941 thought 2803-4 she had been drunken. 7910

1:14 And Eli 5941 said 559-4 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? 7937-101 put away 5493-54 thy wine 3196 from thee.

1:15 And Hannah 2584 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 No, my lord, 113 I [am] a woman 802 of a sorrowful 7186 spirit: 7307 I have drunk 8354-1 neither wine 3196 nor strong drink, 7941 but have poured out 8210-4 my soul 5315 before 6440 the LORD. 3068

1:16 Count 5414-4 not thine handmaid 519 for 6440 a daughter 1323 of Belial: 1100 for out of the abundance 7230 of my complaint 7879 and grief 3708 have I spoken 1696-14 hitherto.

1:17 Then Eli 5941 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 Go 3212-3 in peace: 7965 and the God 430 of Israel 3478 grant 5414-4 [thee] thy petition 7596 that thou hast asked 7592-1 of him.

1:18 And she said, 559-4 Let thine handmaid 8198 find 4672-4 grace 2580 in thy sight. 5869 So the woman 802 went 3212-4 her way, 1870 and did eat, 398-4 and her countenance 6440 was no more [sad].

1:19 And they rose up in the morning 1242 early, 7925-55 and worshipped 7812-101 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and returned, 7725-4 and came 935-4 to their house 1004 to Ramah: 7414 and Elkanah 511 knew 3045-4 Hannah 2584 his wife; 802 and the LORD 3068 remembered 2142-4 her.

1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time 3117 was come 8622 about after Hannah 2584 had conceived, 2029-4 that she bare 3205-4 a son, 1121 and called 7121-4 his name 8034 Samuel, 8050 [saying], Because I have asked 7592-1 him of the LORD. 3068

1:21 And the man 376 Elkanah, 511 and all his house, 1004 went up 5927-4 to offer 2076-2 unto the LORD 3068 the yearly 3117 sacrifice, 2077 and his vow. 5088

1:22 But Hannah 2584 went not up; 5927-1 for she said 559-1 unto her husband, 376 [I will not go up] until the child 5288 be weaned, 1580-11 and [then] I will bring 935-52 him, that he may appear 7200-8 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and there abide 3427-1 for 5704 ever. 5769

1:23 And Elkanah 511 her husband 376 said 559-4 unto her, Do 6213-3 what seemeth 5869 thee good; 2896 tarry 3427-3 until thou have weaned 1580-2 him; only the LORD 3068 establish 6965-55 his word. 1697 So the woman 802 abode, 3427-4 and gave her son 1121 suck 3243-55 until she weaned 1580-2 him.

1:24 And when she had weaned 1580-1 him, she took him up 5927-55 with her, with three 7969 bullocks, 6499 and one 259 ephah 374 of flour, 7058 and a bottle 5035 of wine, 3196 and brought 935-55 him unto the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 in Shiloh: 7887 and the child 5288 [was] young. 5288

1:25 And they slew 7819-4 a bullock, 6499 and brought 935-55 the child 5288 to Eli. 5941

1:26 And she said, 559-4 Oh 994 my lord, 113 [as] thy soul 5315 liveth, 2416 my lord, 113 I [am] the woman 802 that stood 5324-12 by thee here, praying 6419-99 unto the LORD. 3068

1:27 For this child 5288 I prayed; 6419-98 and the LORD 3068 hath given 5414-4 me my petition 7596 which I asked 7592-1 of him:
