Now there was a certainH259 manH376 of RamathaimzophimH7436, of mountH2022 EphraimH669, and his nameH8034 was ElkanahH511, the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, the sonH1121 of ElihuH453, the sonH1121 of TohuH8459, the sonH1121 of ZuphH6689, an EphrathiteH673:
And he had twoH8147 wivesH802; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was HannahH2584, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 PeninnahH6444: and PeninnahH6444 had childrenH3206, but HannahH2584 had no childrenH3206.
And thisH1931 manH376 went upH5927 out of his cityH5892 yearlyH3117+H3117 to worshipH7812 and to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in ShilohH7887. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, were there. {yearly: Heb. from year to year}
And when the timeH3117 was that ElkanahH511 offeredH2076, he gaveH5414 to PeninnahH6444 his wifeH802, and to all her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, portionsH4490:
But unto HannahH2584 he gaveH5414 aH259 worthyH639 portionH4490; for he lovedH157 HannahH2584: but the LORDH3068 had shut upH5462 her wombH7358. {worthy: or, double}
And her adversaryH6869 also provokedH3707 her soreH3708, for to make her fretH7481, because the LORDH3068 had shutH5462 upH1157 her wombH7358. {provoked: Heb. angered}
And as he didH6213 so yearH8141 by yearH8141, whenH1767 she went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, so she provokedH3707 her; therefore she weptH1058, and did not eatH398. {when…: or, from the time that she, etc: Heb. from her going up}
Then saidH559 ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 to her, HannahH2584, why weepestH1058 thou? and why eatestH398 thou not? and why is thy heartH3824 grievedH3415? am not I betterH2896 to thee than tenH6235 sonsH1121?
So HannahH2584 rose upH6965 afterH310 they had eatenH398 in ShilohH7887, and afterH310 they had drunkH8354. Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 satH3427 upon a seatH3678 by a postH4201 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068.
And she was in bitternessH4751 of soulH5315, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, and weptH1058 soreH1058. {in…: Heb. bitter of soul}
And she vowedH5087 a vowH5088, and saidH559, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if thou wilt indeedH7200 lookH7200 on the afflictionH6040 of thine handmaidH519, and rememberH2142 me, and not forgetH7911 thine handmaidH519, but wilt giveH5414 unto thine handmaidH519 a manH582 childH2233, then I will giveH5414 him unto the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, and there shall no razorH4177 comeH5927 upon his headH7218. {a man…: Heb. seed of men}
And it came to pass, as she continuedH7235 prayingH6419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that EliH5941 markedH8104 her mouthH6310. {continued…: Heb. multiplied to pray}
Now HannahH2584, she spakeH1696 in her heartH3820; only her lipsH8193 movedH5128, but her voiceH6963 was not heardH8085: therefore EliH5941 thoughtH2803 she had been drunkenH7910.
And EliH5941 saidH559 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunkenH7937? put awayH5493 thy wineH3196 from thee.
And HannahH2584 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No, my lordH113, I am a womanH802 of a sorrowfulH7186 spiritH7307: I have drunkH8354 neither wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, but have poured outH8210 my soulH5315 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {of a sorrowful…: Heb. hard of spirit}
CountH5414 not thine handmaidH519 forH6440 a daughterH1323 of BelialH1100: for out of the abundanceH7230 of my complaintH7879 and griefH3708 have I spokenH1696 hitherto. {complaint: or, meditation}
Then EliH5941 answeredH6030 and saidH559, GoH3212 in peaceH7965: and the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 grantH5414 thee thy petitionH7596 that thou hast askedH7592 of him.
And she saidH559, Let thine handmaidH8198 findH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869. So the womanH802 wentH3212 her wayH1870, and did eatH398, and her countenanceH6440 was no more sad.
And they rose upH7925 in the morningH1242 earlyH7925, and worshippedH7812 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725, and cameH935 to their houseH1004 to RamahH7414: and ElkanahH511 knewH3045 HannahH2584 his wifeH802; and the LORDH3068 rememberedH2142 her.
Wherefore it came to pass, when the timeH3117 was comeH8622 about after HannahH2584 had conceivedH2029, that she bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 SamuelH8050, saying, Because I have askedH7592 him of the LORDH3068. {when…: Heb. in revolution of days} {Samuel: that is, Asked of God}
And the manH376 ElkanahH511, and all his houseH1004, went upH5927 to offerH2076 unto the LORDH3068 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077, and his vowH5088.
But HannahH2584 went not upH5927; for she saidH559 unto her husbandH376, I will not go up until the childH5288 be weanedH1580, and then I will bringH935 him, that he may appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and there abideH3427 forH5704 everH5769.
And ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 saidH559 unto her, DoH6213 what seemethH5869 thee goodH2896; tarryH3427 until thou have weanedH1580 him; only the LORDH3068 establishH6965 his wordH1697. So the womanH802 abodeH3427, and gave her sonH1121 suckH3243 until she weanedH1580 him.
And when she had weanedH1580 him, she took him upH5927 with her, with threeH7969 bullocksH6499, and oneH259 ephahH374 of flourH7058, and a bottleH5035 of wineH3196, and broughtH935 him unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887: and the childH5288 was youngH5288.
And they slewH7819 a bullockH6499, and broughtH935 the childH5288 to EliH5941.
And she saidH559, OhH994 my lordH113, as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, my lordH113, I am the womanH802 that stoodH5324 by thee here, prayingH6419 unto the LORDH3068.
For this childH5288 I prayedH6419; and the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me my petitionH7596 which I askedH7592 of him:
Therefore also I have lentH7592 him to the LORDH3068; as long as he livethH3117 he shall be lentH7592 to the LORDH3068. And he worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 there. {lent him: or, returned him, whom I have obtained by petition} {he shall…: or, he whom I have obtained by petition shall be returned}

And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
And they cameH935 to the threshingfloorH1637 of AtadH329, which is beyondH5676 JordanH3383, and there they mournedH5594 with a greatH1419 and veryH3966 soreH3515 lamentationH4553: and he madeH6213 a mourningH60 for his fatherH1 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
For, saidH559 HushaiH2365, thou knowestH3045 thy fatherH1 and his menH582, that they be mighty menH1368, and they be chafedH4751 in their mindsH5315, as a bearH1677 robbedH7909 of her whelps in the fieldH7704: and thy fatherH1 is a manH376 of warH4421, and will not lodgeH3885 with the peopleH5971. {chafed…: Heb. bitter of soul}
He shall callH7121 upon me, and I will answerH6030 him: I will be with him in troubleH6869; I will deliverH2502 him, and honourH3513 him.
And the peopleH5971 cameH935 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and abodeH3427 there till evenH6153 beforeH6440 GodH430, and lifted upH5375 their voicesH6963, and weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419;
Therefore I will not refrainH2820 my mouthH6310; I will speakH1696 in the anguishH6862 of my spiritH7307; I will complainH7878 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
AndG2532 beingG1096 inG1722 an agonyG74 he prayedG4336 more earnestlyG1617: andG1161 hisG846 sweatG2402 wasG1096 as it wereG5616 great dropsG2361 of bloodG129 falling downG2597 toG1909 the groundG1093.
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696, that, behold, the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 cameH935, and lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963 and weptH1058: and the kingH4428 also and all his servantsH5650 weptH1058 veryH3966 soreH1065+H1419. {very…: Heb. with a great weeping greatly}
WhoG3739 inG1722 the daysG2250 of hisG846 fleshG4561, when he had offered upG4374 prayersG1162 andG5037+G2532 supplicationsG2428 withG3326 strongG2478 cryingG2906 andG2532 tearsG1144 untoG4314 him that was ableG1410 to saveG4982 himG846 fromG1537 deathG2288, andG2532 was heardG1522 in thatG575 he fearedG2124; {in that…: or, for his piety}
I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
My soulH5315 is wearyH5354 of my lifeH2416; I will leaveH5800 my complaintH7879 upon myself; I will speakH1696 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. {weary…: or, cut off while I live}
But if ye will not hearH8085 it, my soulH5315 shall weepH1058 in secret placesH4565 forH6440 your prideH1466; and mine eyeH5869 shall weepH1830 soreH1830, and run downH3381 with tearsH1832, because the LORD'SH3068 flockH5739 is carried away captiveH7617.
What shall I sayH1696? he hath both spokenH559 unto me, and himself hath doneH6213 it: I shall go softlyH1718 all my yearsH8141 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.
WeepH1058 ye not for the deadH4191, neither bemoanH5110 him: but weepH1058 soreH1058 for him that goeth awayH1980: for he shall returnH7725 no more, nor seeH7200 his nativeH4138 countryH776.
