| 1:1 | Now there was a certain <0259> man <0376> of Ramathaimzophim <07436>, of mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>, and his name <08034> [was] Elkanah <0511>, the son <01121> of Jeroham <03395>, the son <01121> of Elihu <0453>, the son <01121> of Tohu <08459>, the son <01121> of Zuph <06689>, an Ephrathite <0673>: |
| 1:2 | And he had two <08147> wives <0802>; the name <08034> of the one <0259> [was] Hannah <02584>, and the name <08034> of the other <08145> Peninnah <06444>: and Peninnah <06444> had children <03206>, but Hannah <02584> had no children <03206>. |
| 1:3 | And this <01931> man <0376> went up <05927> (8804) out of his city <05892> yearly <03117> <03117> to worship <07812> (8692) and to sacrifice <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> in Shiloh <07887>. And the two <08147> sons <01121> of Eli <05941>, Hophni <02652> and Phinehas <06372>, the priests <03548> of the LORD <03068>, [were] there. {yearly: Heb. from year to year} |
| 1:4 | And when the time <03117> was that Elkanah <0511> offered <02076> (8799), he gave <05414> (8804) to Peninnah <06444> his wife <0802>, and to all her sons <01121> and her daughters <01323>, portions <04490>: |
| 1:5 | But unto Hannah <02584> he gave <05414> (8799) a <0259> worthy <0639> portion <04490>; for he loved <0157> (8804) Hannah <02584>: but the LORD <03068> had shut up <05462> (8804) her womb <07358>. {worthy: or, double} |
| 1:6 | And her adversary <06869> also provoked <03707> (8765) her sore <03708>, for to make her fret <07481> (8687), because the LORD <03068> had shut <05462> (8804) up <01157> her womb <07358>. {provoked: Heb. angered} |
| 1:7 | And [as] he did <06213> (8799) so year <08141> by year <08141>, when <01767> she went up <05927> (8800) to the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, so she provoked <03707> (8686) her; therefore she wept <01058> (8799), and did not eat <0398> (8799). {when...: or, from the time that she, etc: Heb. from her going up} |
| 1:8 | Then said <0559> (8799) Elkanah <0511> her husband <0376> to her, Hannah <02584>, why weepest <01058> (8799) thou? and why eatest <0398> (8799) thou not? and why is thy heart <03824> grieved <03415> (8799)? [am] not I better <02896> to thee than ten <06235> sons <01121>? |
| 1:9 | So Hannah <02584> rose up <06965> (8799) after <0310> they had eaten <0398> (8800) in Shiloh <07887>, and after <0310> they had drunk <08354> (8800). Now Eli <05941> the priest <03548> sat <03427> (8802) upon a seat <03678> by a post <04201> of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>. |
| 1:10 | And she [was] in bitterness <04751> of soul <05315>, and prayed <06419> (8691) unto the LORD <03068>, and wept <01058> (8799) sore <01058> (8800). {in...: Heb. bitter of soul} |
| 1:11 | And she vowed <05087> (8799) a vow <05088>, and said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, if thou wilt indeed <07200> (8800) look <07200> (8799) on the affliction <06040> of thine handmaid <0519>, and remember <02142> (8804) me, and not forget <07911> (8799) thine handmaid <0519>, but wilt give <05414> (8804) unto thine handmaid <0519> a man <0582> child <02233>, then I will give <05414> (8804) him unto the LORD <03068> all the days <03117> of his life <02416>, and there shall no razor <04177> come <05927> (8799) upon his head <07218>. {a man...: Heb. seed of men} |
| 1:12 | And it came to pass, as she continued <07235> (8689) praying <06419> (8692) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, that Eli <05941> marked <08104> (8802) her mouth <06310>. {continued...: Heb. multiplied to pray} |
| 1:13 | Now Hannah <02584>, she spake <01696> (8764) in her heart <03820>; only her lips <08193> moved <05128> (8801), but her voice <06963> was not heard <08085> (8735): therefore Eli <05941> thought <02803> (8799) she had been drunken <07910>. |
| 1:14 | And Eli <05941> said <0559> (8799) unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken <07937> (8691)? put away <05493> (8685) thy wine <03196> from thee. |
| 1:15 | And Hannah <02584> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), No, my lord <0113>, I [am] a woman <0802> of a sorrowful <07186> spirit <07307>: I have drunk <08354> (8804) neither wine <03196> nor strong drink <07941>, but have poured out <08210> (8799) my soul <05315> before <06440> the LORD <03068>. {of a sorrowful...: Heb. hard of spirit} |
| 1:16 | Count <05414> (8799) not thine handmaid <0519> for <06440> a daughter <01323> of Belial <01100>: for out of the abundance <07230> of my complaint <07879> and grief <03708> have I spoken <01696> (8765) hitherto. {complaint: or, meditation} |
| 1:17 | Then Eli <05941> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), Go <03212> (8798) in peace <07965>: and the God <0430> of Israel <03478> grant <05414> (8799) [thee] thy petition <07596> that thou hast asked <07592> (8804) of him. |
| 1:18 | And she said <0559> (8799), Let thine handmaid <08198> find <04672> (8799) grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>. So the woman <0802> went <03212> (8799) her way <01870>, and did eat <0398> (8799), and her countenance <06440> was no more [sad]. |
| 1:19 | And they rose up <07925> (0) in the morning <01242> early <07925> (8686), and worshipped <07812> (8691) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and returned <07725> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) to their house <01004> to Ramah <07414>: and Elkanah <0511> knew <03045> (8799) Hannah <02584> his wife <0802>; and the LORD <03068> remembered <02142> (8799) her. |
| 1:20 | Wherefore it came to pass, when the time <03117> was come <08622> about after Hannah <02584> had conceived <02029> (8799), that she bare <03205> (8799) a son <01121>, and called <07121> (8799) his name <08034> Samuel <08050>, [saying], Because I have asked <07592> (8804) him of the LORD <03068>. {when...: Heb. in revolution of days} {Samuel: that is, Asked of God} |
| 1:21 | And the man <0376> Elkanah <0511>, and all his house <01004>, went up <05927> (8799) to offer <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068> the yearly <03117> sacrifice <02077>, and his vow <05088>. |
| 1:22 | But Hannah <02584> went not up <05927> (8804); for she said <0559> (8804) unto her husband <0376>, [I will not go up] until the child <05288> be weaned <01580> (8735), and [then] I will bring <0935> (8689) him, that he may appear <07200> (8738) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and there abide <03427> (8804) for <05704> ever <05769>. |
| 1:23 | And Elkanah <0511> her husband <0376> said <0559> (8799) unto her, Do <06213> (8798) what seemeth <05869> thee good <02896>; tarry <03427> (8798) until thou have weaned <01580> (8800) him; only the LORD <03068> establish <06965> (8686) his word <01697>. So the woman <0802> abode <03427> (8799), and gave her son <01121> suck <03243> (8686) until she weaned <01580> (8800) him. |
| 1:24 | And when she had weaned <01580> (8804) him, she took him up <05927> (8686) with her, with three <07969> bullocks <06499>, and one <0259> ephah <0374> of flour <07058>, and a bottle <05035> of wine <03196>, and brought <0935> (8686) him unto the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> in Shiloh <07887>: and the child <05288> [was] young <05288>. |
| 1:25 | And they slew <07819> (8799) a bullock <06499>, and brought <0935> (8686) the child <05288> to Eli <05941>. |
| 1:26 | And she said <0559> (8799), Oh <0994> my lord <0113>, [as] thy soul <05315> liveth <02416>, my lord <0113>, I [am] the woman <0802> that stood <05324> (8737) by thee here, praying <06419> (8692) unto the LORD <03068>. |
| 1:27 | For this child <05288> I prayed <06419> (8694); and the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8799) me my petition <07596> which I asked <07592> (8804) of him: |
| 1:28 | Therefore also I have lent <07592> (8689) him to the LORD <03068>; as long as he liveth <03117> he shall be lent <07592> (8803) to the LORD <03068>. And he worshipped <07812> (8691) the LORD <03068> 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} |
