1 Samuel 1:3-28

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}
