| [1]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: |
[No book] |
| [2]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. |
[No book] |
| [3]And thisH1931 manH376 went upH5927[H8804] out of his cityH5892 yearlyH3117[H3117] to worshipH7812[H8692] and to sacrificeH2076[H8800] unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in ShilohH7887. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, the priestsH3548 of the LORD, were thereH3068. |
[No book] |
| [4]And when the timeH3117 was that ElkanahH511 offeredH2076[H8799], he gaveH5414[H8804] to PeninnahH6444 his wifeH802, and to all her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, portionsH4490: |
[No book] |
| [5]But unto HannahH2584 he gaveH5414[H8799] aH259 worthyH639 portionH4490; for he lovedH157[H8804] HannahH2584: but the LORDH3068 had shut upH5462[H8804] her wombH7358. |
[No book] |
| [6]And her adversaryH6869 also provokedH3707[H8765] her soreH3708, for to make her fretH7481[H8687], because the LORDH3068 had shutH5462[H8804] upH1157 her wombH7358. |
[No book] |
| [7]And as he didH6213[H8799] so yearH8141 by yearH8141, whenH1767 she went upH5927[H8800] to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, so she provokedH3707[H8686] her; therefore she weptH1058[H8799], and did not eatH398.[H8799] |
[No book] |
| [8]Then saidH559[H8799] ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 to her, HannahH2584, why weepestH1058[H8799] thou? and why eatestH398[H8799] thou not? and why is thy heartH3824 grievedH3415[H8799]? am not I betterH2896 to thee than tenH6235 sonsH1121? |
[No book] |
| [9]So HannahH2584 rose upH6965[H8799] afterH310 they had eatenH398[H8800] in ShilohH7887, and afterH310 they had drunkH8354[H8800]. Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 satH3427[H8802] upon a seatH3678 by a postH4201 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
| [10]And she was in bitternessH4751 of soulH5315, and prayedH6419[H8691] unto the LORDH3068, and weptH1058[H8799] soreH1058.[H8800] |
[No book] |
| [11]And she vowedH5087[H8799] a vowH5088, and saidH559[H8799], O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if thou wilt indeedH7200[H8800] lookH7200[H8799] on the afflictionH6040 of thine handmaidH519, and rememberH2142[H8804] me, and not forgetH7911[H8799] thine handmaidH519, but wilt giveH5414[H8804] unto thine handmaidH519 a manH582 childH2233, then I will giveH5414[H8804] him unto the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, and there shall no razorH4177 comeH5927[H8799] upon his headH7218. |
[No book] |
| [12]And it came to pass, as she continuedH7235[H8689] prayingH6419[H8692] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that EliH5941 markedH8104[H8802] her mouthH6310. |
[No book] |
| [13]Now HannahH2584, she spakeH1696[H8764] in her heartH3820; only her lipsH8193 movedH5128[H8801], but her voiceH6963 was not heardH8085[H8735]: therefore EliH5941 thoughtH2803[H8799] she had been drunkenH7910. |
[No book] |
| [14]And EliH5941 saidH559[H8799] unto her, How long wilt thou be drunkenH7937[H8691]? put awayH5493[H8685] thy wine from theeH3196. |
[No book] |
| [15]And HannahH2584 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], No, my lordH113, I am a womanH802 of a sorrowfulH7186 spiritH7307: I have drunkH8354[H8804] neither wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, but have poured outH8210[H8799] my soulH5315 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
| [16]CountH5414[H8799] not thine handmaidH519 forH6440 a daughterH1323 of BelialH1100: for out of the abundanceH7230 of my complaintH7879 and griefH3708 have I spokenH1696 hithertoH8765. |
[No book] |
| [17]Then EliH5941 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], GoH3212[H8798] in peaceH7965: and the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 grantH5414[H8799] thee thy petitionH7596 that thou hast askedH7592 of himH8804. |
[No book] |
| [18]And she saidH559[H8799], Let thine handmaidH8198 findH4672[H8799] graceH2580 in thy sightH5869. So the womanH802 wentH3212[H8799] her wayH1870, and did eatH398[H8799], and her countenance was no more sadH6440. |
[No book] |
| [19]And they rose upH7925 in the morningH1242 earlyH7925[H8686], and worshippedH7812[H8691] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725[H8799], and cameH935[H8799] to their houseH1004 to RamahH7414: and ElkanahH511 knewH3045[H8799] HannahH2584 his wifeH802; and the LORDH3068 rememberedH2142 herH8799. |
[No book] |
| [20]Wherefore it came to pass, when the timeH3117 was comeH8622 about after HannahH2584 had conceivedH2029[H8799], that she bareH3205[H8799] a sonH1121, and calledH7121[H8799] his nameH8034 SamuelH8050, saying, Because I have askedH7592[H8804] him of the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
| [21]And the manH376 ElkanahH511, and all his houseH1004, went upH5927[H8799] to offerH2076[H8800] unto the LORDH3068 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077, and his vowH5088. |
[No book] |
| [22]But HannahH2584 went not upH5927[H8804]; for she saidH559[H8804] unto her husbandH376, I will not go up until the childH5288 be weanedH1580[H8735], and then I will bringH935[H8689] him, that he may appearH7200[H8738] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and there abideH3427[H8804] forH5704 everH5769. |
[No book] |
| [23]And ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 saidH559[H8799] unto her, DoH6213[H8798] what seemethH5869 thee goodH2896; tarryH3427[H8798] until thou have weanedH1580[H8800] him; only the LORDH3068 establishH6965[H8686] his wordH1697. So the womanH802 abodeH3427[H8799], and gave her sonH1121 suckH3243[H8686] until she weanedH1580 himH8800. |
[No book] |
| [24]And when she had weanedH1580[H8804] him, she took him upH5927[H8686] with her, with threeH7969 bullocksH6499, and oneH259 ephahH374 of flourH7058, and a bottleH5035 of wineH3196, and broughtH935[H8686] him unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887: and the childH5288 was youngH5288. |
[No book] |
| [25]And they slewH7819[H8799] a bullockH6499, and broughtH935[H8686] the childH5288 to EliH5941. |
[No book] |
| [26]And she saidH559[H8799], OhH994 my lordH113, as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, my lordH113, I am the womanH802 that stoodH5324[H8737] by thee here, prayingH6419[H8692] unto the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
| [27]For this childH5288 I prayedH6419[H8694]; and the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414[H8799] me my petitionH7596 which I askedH7592 of himH8804: |
[No book] |
| [28]Therefore also I have lentH7592[H8689] him to the LORDH3068; as long as he livethH3117 he shall be lentH7592[H8803] to the LORDH3068. And he worshippedH7812[H8691] the LORD thereH3068. |
