14. So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine from you.”
15. And Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrow. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.
16. Do not consider your handmaid to be a sinful woman, for out of the abundance of my concern and provocation I have spoken until now.”
17. Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant you your request that you have asked of Him.”
18. And she said, “Let your handmaid find grace in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was not sad as before.
19. They rose up in the morning early and worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
20. And it came to pass that Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel saying, “Because I have asked him of the Lord.”
21. Then the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
22. But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, “I will not go up until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and live there forever.”
23. So Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the Lord establish His word.” So the woman remained, and nursed her son until she weaned him.
24. When she had weaned him, she took him up with her with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine. And she brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh, though the boy was young.
25. Then they slaughtered a bull, and they brought the boy to Eli.
26. And she said, “Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman that stood by you here praying to the Lord.
