akjv 1Samuel:1:1-20
akjv@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
akjv@1Samuel:1:2 @ And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
akjv@1Samuel:1:3 @ And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
akjv@1Samuel:1:4 @ And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
akjv@1Samuel:1:5 @ But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
akjv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
akjv@1Samuel:1:7 @ And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
akjv@1Samuel:1:8 @ Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weep you? and why eat you not? and why is your heart grieved? am not I better to you than ten sons?
akjv@1Samuel:1:9 @ So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat on a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
akjv@1Samuel:1:10 @ And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept sore.
akjv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a man child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head.
akjv@1Samuel:1:12 @ And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
akjv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
akjv@1Samuel:1:14 @ And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? put away your wine from you.
akjv@1Samuel:1:15 @ And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
akjv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Count not your handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken till now.
akjv@1Samuel:1:17 @ Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you your petition that you have asked of him.
akjv@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said, Let your handmaid find grace in your sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
akjv@1Samuel:1:19 @ And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
akjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ Why it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
