1:1 Now
there
was
a
certaine
man
of
Ramathaim
Zophim,
of
mount
Ephraim,
&
his
name
was
Elkanah,
the
sonne
of
Ieroham,
the
sonne
of
Elihu,
the
sonne
of
Tohu,
the
sonne
of
Zuph,
an
Ephrathite;
1:2 And
he
had
two
wiues,
the
name
of
the
one
was
Hannah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Peninnah:
and
Peninnah
had
children,
but
Hannah
had
no
children.
1:3 And
this
man
went
vp
out
of
his
citie
yeerely,
to
worship
and
to
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
of
hostes
in
Shiloh;
and
the
two
sonnes
of
Eli,
Hophni,
and
Phinehas,
the
Priests
of
the
Lord,
were
there.
1:4 And
when
the
time
was,
that
Elkanah
offered,
he
gaue
to
Peninnah
his
wife,
and
to
all
her
sonnes,
and
her
daughters,
portions.
1:5 But
vnto
Hannah
he
gaue
a
worthy
portion:
(for
he
loued
Hannah,
but
the
Lord
had
shut
vp
her
wombe.
1:6 And
her
aduersary
also
prouoked
her
sore,
for
to
make
her
fret,
because
the
Lord
had
shut
vp
her
wombe.)
1:7 And
as
he
did
so
yeere
by
yeere,
when
she
went
vp
to
the
house
of
the
Lord,
so
she
prouoked
her;
therefore
she
wept,
and
did
not
eat.
1:8 Then
said
Elkanah
her
husband
to
her,
Hannah,
why
weepest
thou
and
why
eatest
thou
not
and
why
is
thy
heart
grieued
Am
not
I
better
to
thee,
then
ten
sonnes
1:9 So
Hannah
rose
vp
after
they
had
eaten
in
Shiloh,
and
after
they
had
drunke;
(now
Eli
the
Priest
sate
vpon
a
seat
by
a
poste
of
the
Temple
of
the
Lord.
)
1:10 And
shee
was
in
bitternesse
of
soule,
and
prayed
vnto
the
Lord,
and
wept
sore.
1:11 And
she
vowed
a
vow,
and
said,
O
Lord
of
hostes,
if
thou
wilt
indeed
looke
on
the
affliction
of
thine
handmayd,
and
remember
me,
and
not
forget
thine
handmayd,
but
wilt
giue
vnto
thine
handmayd
a
man
childe,
then
I
will
giue
him
vnto
the
Lord
all
the
dayes
of
his
life,
and
there
shall
no
rasor
come
vpon
his
head.
1:12 And
it
came
to
passe
as
she
continued
praying
before
the
Lord,
that
Eli
marked
her
mouth.
1:13 Now
Hannah,
shee
spake
in
her
heart;
onely
her
lippes
mooued,
but
her
voice
was
not
heard:
therefore
Eli
thought
she
had
beene
drunken.
1:14 And
Eli
said
vnto
her,
How
long
wilt
thou
be
drunken
put
away
thy
wine
from
thee.
1:15 And
Hannah
answered,
and
said,
No,
my
lord,
I
am
a
woman
of
a
sorrowfull
spirit:
I
haue
drunke
neither
wine
nor
strong
drinke,
but
haue
powred
out
my
soule
before
the
Lord.
1:16 Count
not
thine
handmaid
for
a
daughter
of
Belial:
for
out
of
the
abundance
of
my
complaint
and
griefe,
haue
I
spoken
hitherto.
1:17 Then
Eli
answered,
and
said,
Goe
in
peace:
and
the
God
of
Israel
grant
thee
thy
petition,
that
thou
hast
asked
of
him.
1:18 And
she
said,
Let
thine
handmaid
finde
grace
in
thy
sight.
So
the
woman
went
her
way,
and
did
eate,
and
her
countenance
was
no
more
sad.
1:19 And
they
rose
vp
in
the
morning
early,
and
worshipped
before
the
Lord,
and
returned,
and
came
to
their
house
to
Ramah:
and
Elkanah
knewe
Hannah
his
wife,
and
the
Lord
remembred
her.
1:20 Wherefore
it
came
to
passe
when
the
time
was
come
about,
after
Hannah
had
conceiued,
that
shee
bare
a
sonne,
and
called
his
name
Samuel,
saying;
Because
I
haue
asked
him
of
the
Lord.
1:21 And
the
man
Elkanah,
and
all
his
house,
went
vp
to
offer
vnto
the
Lord
the
yeerely
sacrifice,
and
his
vowe.
1:22 But
Hannah
went
not
vp;
for
shee
said
vnto
her
husband,
I
will
not
goe
vp
vntill
the
childe
be
weaned,
and
then
I
will
bring
him,
that
he
may
appeare
before
the
Lord,
and
there
abide
for
euer.
1:23 And
Elkanah
her
husband
said
vnto
her,
Do
what
seemeth
thee
good,
tary
vntill
thou
haue
weaned
him,
only
the
Lord
establish
his
word:
so
the
woman
abode,
and
gaue
her
sonne
sucke
vntill
she
weaned
him.
1:24 And
when
shee
had
weaned
him,
shee
tooke
him
vp
with
her,
with
three
bullocks,
and
one
Ephah
of
floure,
and
a
bottle
of
wine,
and
brought
him
vnto
the
house
of
the
Lord
in
Shiloh:
and
the
childe
was
young.
1:25 And
they
slew
a
bullocke,
and
brought
the
childe
to
Eli.
1:26 And
she
said,
Oh
my
lord,
as
thy
soule
liueth,
my
lord,
I
am
the
woman,
that
stood
by
thee
heere,
praying
vnto
the
Lord.
1:27 For
this
childe
I
prayed,
and
the
Lord
hath
giuen
me
my
petition,
which
I
asked
of
him:
1:28 Therefore
also
I
haue
lent
him
to
the
Lord
as
long
as
hee
liueth,
he
shall
be
lent
to
the
Lord.
And
he
worshipped
the
Lord
there.
