12. And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.
13. Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
14. And Eli said unto her, How long wilt 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 Jehovah.
16. Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto.
17. Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
18. And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat; and her countenance was no more
19. And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her.
20. And it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Samuel,
21. And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto Jehovah the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
22. But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and there abide for ever.
23. And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only Jehovah establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.
