1 Samuel 1:11-17

1 Samuel 1:11-17 NCV

She made a promise, saying, “LORD All-Powerful, see how sad I am. Remember me and don’t forget me. If you will give me a son, I will give him back to you all his life, and no one will ever cut his hair with a razor.” While Hannah kept praying, Eli watched her mouth. She was praying in her heart so her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “Stop getting drunk! Throw away your wine!” Hannah answered, “No, sir, I have not drunk any wine or beer. I am a deeply troubled woman, and I was telling the LORD about all my problems. Don’t think I am an evil woman. I have been praying because I have many troubles and am very sad.” Eli answered, “Go! I wish you well. May the God of Israel give you what you asked of him.”
