1 Now there was H1961 W-VQY3MS a certain H259 MMS man H376 NMS of H4480 PREP Ramathaim H7436 - zophim , of mount H2022 Ephraim H669 , and his name H8034 was Elkanah H511 , the son H1121 CMS of Jeroham H3395 , the son H1121 CMS of Elihu H453 EMS , the son H1121 CMS of Tohu H8459 , the son H1121 CMS of Zuph H6689 , an Ephrathite H6733 .
2 And he had two H8147 ONUM wives H802 GFP ; the name H8034 CMS of the one H259 OFS was Hannah H2584 , and the name H8034 W-CMS of the other H8145 D-ONUM Peninnah H6444 : and Peninnah H6444 had H1961 W-VQY3MS children H3206 , but Hannah H2584 had no H369 NPAR children H3206 .
3 And this H1931 D-PPRO-3MS man H376 D-NMS went up H5927 out of his city H5892 yearly H3117 to worship H7812 and to sacrifice H2076 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS of hosts H6635 in Shiloh H7887 . And the two H8147 ONUM sons H1121 of Eli H5941 , Hophni H2652 and Phinehas H6372 , the priests H3548 NMP of the LORD H3068 , were there H8033 W-ADV .
4 And when the time H3117 D-AMS was H1961 W-VQY3MS that Elkanah H511 offered H2076 , he gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS to Peninnah H6444 his wife H802 CFS-3MS , and to all H3605 WL-CMS her sons H1121 CMP-3FS and her daughters H1323 CFP-3FS , portions H4490 :
5 But unto Hannah H2584 he gave H5414 VHFA a H259 OFS worthy H639 portion H4490 ; for H3588 CONJ he loved H157 Hannah H2584 : but the LORD H3068 W-EDS had shut up H5462 VQQ3MS her womb H7358 .
6 And her adversary H6869 also H1571 CONJ provoked H3707 her sore H3708 , for to H5668 B-NMS make her fret H7481 , because H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS had shut up H5462 VQQ3MS her womb H7358 .
7 And as he did H6213 VQY3MS so H3651 ADV year H8141 NFS by year H8141 , when H1767 she went up H5927 to the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , so H3651 ADV she provoked H3707 her ; therefore she wept H1058 , and did not H3808 W-NPAR eat H398 .
8 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Elkanah H511 her husband H376 to her , Hannah H2584 , why H4100 weepest H1058 thou ? and why H4100 eatest H398 thou not H3808 NADV ? and why H4100 is thy heart H3824 grieved H7489 ? am not H3808 ADV I H595 PPRO-1MS better H2896 AMS to thee than ten H6235 sons H1121 ?
9 So Hannah H2584 rose up H6965 after H310 PREP they had eaten H398 VQQ3FS in Shiloh H7887 , and after H310 they had drunk H8354 . Now Eli H5941 the priest H3548 sat H3427 VQPMS upon H5921 PREP a seat H3678 by H5921 PREP a post H4201 of the temple H1964 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
10 And she H1931 was in bitterness H4751 of soul H5315 , and prayed H6419 unto H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , and wept sore H1058 .
11 And she vowed H5087 a vow H5088 , and said H559 , O LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , if H518 PART thou wilt indeed look H7200 on the affliction H6040 of thine handmaid H519 , and remember H2142 me , and not H3808 ADV forget H7911 thine handmaid H519 , but wilt give H5414 unto thine handmaid H519 a man H376 NMP child H2233 NMS , then I will give H5414 him unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of his life H2416 , and there shall no H3808 NADV razor H4177 come H5927 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP his head H7218 CMP-3MS .
12 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , as H3588 CONJ she continued H7235 praying H6419 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , that Eli H5941 marked H8104 her mouth H6310 CMS-3FS .
13 Now Hannah H2584 , she H1931 PPRO-3FS spoke H1696 in H5921 PREP her heart H3820 ; only H7535 ADV her lips H8193 moved H5128 , but her voice H6963 was not H3808 NADV heard H8085 : therefore Eli H5941 thought H2803 she had been drunken H7910 .
14 And Eli H5941 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , How H5704 PREP long H4970 IGAT wilt thou be drunken H7937 ? put away H5493 thy wine H3196 from thee .
15 And Hannah H2584 answered H6030 and said H559 W-VQY3FS , No H3808 NADV , my lord H113 , I am a woman H802 NFS of a sorrowful H7186 spirit H7307 NFS : I H595 PPRO-1MS have drunk H8354 neither H3808 NADV wine H3196 nor strong drink H7941 , but have poured out H8210 my soul H5315 CFS-1MS before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
16 Count H5414 VQY2MS not H408 NPAR thine handmaid H519 for H6440 L-CMP a daughter of Belial H1100 NMS : for H3588 CONJ out of the abundance H7230 M-NMS of my complaint H7879 CMS and grief H3708 have I spoken H1696 VPQ1MS hitherto H5704 PREP .
17 Then Eli H5941 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Go H1980 in peace H7965 : and the God H430 of Israel H3478 grant H5414 VHFA thee thy petition H7596 that H834 RPRO thou hast asked H7592 of him .
18 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS , Let thine handmaid H8198 find H4672 VQY2MS grace H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 . So the woman H802 D-NFS went H1980 W-VQQ3FS her way H1870 , and did eat H398 W-VQY3FS , and her countenance H6440 was H1961 VQQ3MP no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV sad .
19 And they rose up in the morning early H7925 , and worshiped H7812 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , and returned H7725 W-VUY3MP , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP their house H1004 to Ramah H7414 : and Elkanah H511 knew H3045 W-VQY3MS Hannah H2584 his wife H802 CFS-3MS ; and the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS remembered H2142 her .
20 Wherefore it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when the time H3117 D-NMP was come H8622 about after Hannah H2584 had conceived H2029 W-VQY3FS , that she bore H3205 W-VQY3FS a son H1121 NMS , and called H7121 W-VQY2MS his name H8034 CMS-3MS Samuel H8050 , saying , Because H3588 CONJ I have asked H7592 him of the LORD H3068 .
21 And the man H376 D-NMS Elkanah H511 , and all H3605 W-CMS his house H1004 NMS-3MS , went up H5927 W-VHY3MS to offer H2076 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS the yearly H3117 D-NMP sacrifice H2077 NMS , and his vow H5088 .
22 But Hannah H2584 went not up H5927 ; for H3588 CONJ she said H559 VQQ3FS unto her husband H376 , I will not go up until H5704 PREP the child H5288 be weaned H1580 , and then I will bring H935 him , that he may appear H7200 before H6440 CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , and there H8033 ADV abide H3427 forever H5704 PREP .
23 And Elkanah H511 her husband H376 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto her , Do H6213 what seemeth H5869 thee good H2896 D-NMS ; tarry H3427 until H5704 PREP thou have weaned H1580 him ; only H389 ADV the LORD H3068 EDS establish H6965 his word H1697 . So the woman H802 D-NFS abode H3427 , and gave her son suck H3243 until H5704 PREP she weaned H1580 him .
24 And when H834 K-RPRO she had weaned H1580 him , she took him up H5927 with H5973 PREP-3FS her , with three H7969 NFS bullocks H6499 , and one H259 OFS ephah H374 of flour H7058 , and a bottle H5035 of wine H3196 NMS , and brought H935 him unto the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS in Shiloh H7887 : and the child H5288 was young H5288 .
25 And they slew H7819 a bullock H6499 , and brought H935 the child H5288 to H413 PREP Eli H5941 .
26 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS , Oh H994 my lord H113 , as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , my lord H113 , I H589 PPRO-1MS am the woman H802 D-NFS that stood H5324 by H5973 thee here H2088 , praying H6419 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
27 For H413 PREP this H2088 D-PMS child H5288 I prayed H6419 ; and the LORD H3068 EDS hath given H5414 W-VQQ3MS me my petition H7596 which H834 RPRO I asked H7592 of him :
28 Therefore also H1571 W-CONJ I H595 PPRO-1MS have lent H7592 him to the LORD H3068 L-EDS ; as long H3605 NMS as H834 RPRO he liveth H3117 D-NMP he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall be H1961 VQQ3MS lent H7592 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS . And he worshiped H7812 the LORD H3068 there H8033 ADV .
