1 Samuel 1

1 Elkanah a Levite having two wives, worshippeth yearly at Shiloh. 4 He cherisheth Hannah, though barren, and provoked by Peninah. 9 Hannah in grief prayeth for a child. 12 Eli first rebuking her, afterwards blesseth her. 19 Hannah having born Samuel, stayeth at home till he be weaned. 24 She presenteth him, according to her vow, to the LORD.

 1:1 ¶ Now there was x1961 a certain 259 man 376 of x4480 Ramathaim-zophim, 7436 of mount 2022 x4480 Ephraim, 669 and his name 8034 [was] Elkanah, 511 the son 1121 of Jeroham, 3395 the son 1121 of Elihu, 453 the son 1121 of Tohu, 8459 the son 1121 of Zuph, 6689 an Ephrathite. 673 x6733

 1:2 And he had two 8147 wives; 802 the name 8034 of the one 259 [was] Hannah, 2584 and the name 8034 of the other 8145 Peninnah: 6444 and Peninnah 6444 had x1961 children, 3206 but Hannah 2584 had no x369 children. 3206

 1:3 And this 1931 man 376 went up 5927 z8804 out of his city 5892 x4480 yearly 3117 x4480 to worship 7812 z8692 and to sacrifice 2076 z8800 unto the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 in Shiloh. 7887 And the two 8147 sons 1121 of Eli, 5941 Hophni 2652 and Phinehas, 6372 the priests 3548 of the LORD, 3068 [were] there. x8033

 1:4 ¶ And when the time 3117 was x1961 that Elkanah 511 offered, 2076 z8799 he gave 5414 z8804 to Peninnah 6444 his wife, 802 and to all x3605 her sons 1121 and her daughters, 1323 portions: 4490

 1:5 But unto Hannah 2584 he gave 5414 z8799 a 259 worthy 639 portion; 4490 for x3588 he loved 157 z8804 x853 Hannah: 2584 but the LORD 3068 had shut up 5462 z8804 her womb. 7358

 1:6 And her adversary 6869 also x1571 provoked 3707 z8765 her sore, 3708 for to x5668 make her fret, 7481 z8687 because x3588 the LORD 3068 had shut y5462 z8804 up 1157 x5462 her womb. 7358

 1:7 And [as] he did 6213 z8799 so x3651 year 8141 by year, 8141 when 1767 x4480 she went up 5927 z8800 to the house 1004 x4480 of the LORD, 3068 so x3651 she provoked 3707 z8686 her; therefore she wept, 1058 z8799 and did not x3808 eat. 398 z8799

 1:8 Then said 559 z8799 Elkanah 511 her husband 376 to her, Hannah, 2584 why x4100 weepest 1058 z8799 thou? and why x4100 eatest 398 z8799 thou not? x3808 and why x4100 is thy heart 3824 grieved? y3415 z8799 x7489 [am] not x3808 I x595 better 2896 to thee than ten 6235 x4480 sons? 1121

 1:9 ¶ So Hannah 2584 rose up 6965 z8799 after 310 they had eaten 398 z8800 in Shiloh, 7887 and after 310 they had drunk. 8354 z8800 Now Eli 5941 the priest 3548 sat 3427 z8802 upon x5921 a seat 3678 by x5921 a post 4201 of the temple 1964 of the LORD. 3068

 1:10 And she x1931 [was] in bitterness 4751 of soul, 5315 and prayed 6419 z8691 unto x5921 the LORD, 3068 and wept y1058 z8799 sore. 1058 z8800

 1:11 And she vowed 5087 z8799 a vow, 5088 and said, 559 z8799 O LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 if x518 thou wilt indeed y7200 z8800 look 7200 z8799 on the affliction 6040 of thine handmaid, 519 and remember 2142 z8804 me, and not x3808 forget 7911 z8799 x853 thine handmaid, 519 but wilt give 5414 z8804 unto thine handmaid 519 a man y582 x376 child, 2233 then I will give 5414 z8804 him unto the LORD 3068 all x3605 the days 3117 of his life, 2416 and there shall no x3808 razor 4177 come 5927 z8799 upon x5921 his head. 7218

 1:12 And it came to pass, x1961 as x3588 she continued 7235 z8689 praying 6419 z8692 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 that Eli 5941 marked 8104 z8802 x853 her mouth. 6310

 1:13 Now Hannah, 2584 she x1931 spoke 1696 z8764 in x5921 her heart; 3820 only x7535 her lips 8193 moved, 5128 z8801 but her voice 6963 was not x3808 heard: 8085 z8735 therefore Eli 5941 thought 2803 z8799 she had been drunken. 7910

 1:14 And Eli 5941 said 559 z8799 unto x413 her, How x5704 long x4970 wilt thou be drunken? 7937 z8691 put away 5493 z8685 x853 thy wine 3196 from x4480 x5921 thee.

 1:15 And Hannah 2584 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 No, x3808 my lord, 113 I [am] a woman 802 of a sorrowful 7186 spirit: 7307 I x595 have drunk 8354 z8804 neither x3808 wine 3196 nor strong drink, 7941 but have poured out 8210 z8799 x853 my soul 5315 before 6440 the LORD. 3068

 1:16 Count 5414 z8799 not x408 x853 thine handmaid 519 for 6440 a daughter y1323 of Belial: 1100 x1323 for x3588 out of the abundance 7230 x4480 of my complaint 7879 and grief 3708 have I spoken 1696 z8765 hitherto. x5704 x6258

 1:17 Then Eli 5941 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 Go y3212 z8798 x1980 in peace: 7965 and the God 430 of Israel 3478 grant 5414 z8799 [thee] x853 thy petition 7596 that x834 thou hast asked 7592 z8804 of x4480 x5973 him.

 1:18 And she said, 559 z8799 Let thine handmaid 8198 find 4672 z8799 grace 2580 in thy sight. 5869 So the woman 802 went y3212 z8799 x1980 her way, 1870 and did eat, 398 z8799 and her countenance 6440 was x1961 no x3808 more x5750 [sad].

 1:19 ¶ And they rose up y7925 z0 in the morning y1242 early, 7925 z8686 x1242 and worshiped 7812 z8691 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and returned, 7725 z8799 and came 935 z8799 to x413 their house 1004 to Ramah: 7414 and Elkanah 511 knew 3045 z8799 x853 Hannah 2584 his wife; 802 and the LORD 3068 remembered 2142 z8799 her.

 1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, x1961 when the time 3117 was come 8622 about after Hannah 2584 had conceived, 2029 z8799 that she bore 3205 z8799 a son, 1121 and called 7121 z8799 x853 his name 8034 Samuel, 8050 [saying], Because x3588 I have asked 7592 z8804 him of the LORD. 3068 x4480

 1:21 And the man 376 Elkanah, 511 and all x3605 his house, 1004 went up 5927 z8799 to offer 2076 z8800 unto the LORD 3068 x853 the yearly 3117 sacrifice, 2077 and his vow. 5088

 1:22 But Hannah 2584 went not up; 5927 z8804 x3808 for x3588 she said 559 z8804 unto her husband, 376 [I will not go up] until x5704 the child 5288 be weaned, 1580 z8735 and [then] I will bring 935 z8689 him, that he may appear 7200 z8738 x853 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and there x8033 abide 3427 z8804 forever. 5769 5704

 1:23 And Elkanah 511 her husband 376 said 559 z8799 unto her, Do 6213 z8798 what seemeth 5869 thee good; 2896 tarry 3427 z8798 until x5704 thou have weaned 1580 z8800 him; only x389 the LORD 3068 establish 6965 z8686 x853 his word. 1697 So the woman 802 abode, 3427 z8799 and gave her son y1121 suck 3243 z8686 x853 x1121 until x5704 she weaned 1580 z8800 him.

 1:24 ¶ And when x834 she had weaned 1580 z8804 him, she took him up 5927 z8686 with x5973 her, with three 7969 bullocks, 6499 and one 259 ephah 374 of flour, 7058 and a bottle 5035 of wine, 3196 and brought 935 z8686 him unto the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 in Shiloh: 7887 and the child 5288 [was] young. 5288

 1:25 And they slew 7819 z8799 x853 a bullock, 6499 and brought 935 z8686 x853 the child 5288 to x413 Eli. 5941

 1:26 And she said, 559 z8799 Oh 994 my lord, 113 [as] thy soul 5315 liveth, 2416 my lord, 113 I x589 [am] the woman 802 that stood 5324 z8737 by x5973 thee here, x2088 praying 6419 z8692 unto x413 the LORD. 3068

 1:27 For x413 this x2088 child 5288 I prayed; 6419 z8694 and the LORD 3068 hath given 5414 z8799 me x853 my petition 7596 which x834 I asked 7592 z8804 of x4480 x5973 him:

 1:28 Therefore also x1571 I x595 have lent 7592 z8689 him to the LORD; 3068 as long x3605 as x834 he liveth 3117 he x1931 shall be x1961 lent 7592 z8803 to the LORD. 3068 And he worshiped 7812 z8691 the LORD 3068 there. x8033
