 1 Samuel 01

Ana Roga to God to give him a son

9 Then Hannah got up after they had eaten and drank in Silo; and Eli, a priest, was seated in a chair by a pillar of the temple of the Lord.

10 She therefore, with bitterness of soul, prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.

11 And he voted a vote, saying, Lord of hosts! if you kindly attend to the distress of your handmaid, and you remember me, and you do not forget your handmaid, but to your handmaid give a male child, to the Lord I will give him for all the days of his life, and over his head it will not pass a razor.

12 And it came to pass, as she continued to pray before the Lord, that Eli paid attention to her mouth.

13 Because Hannah spoke in her heart, only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli considered her drunk.

14 And Eli said to him, How long will you be drunk? Your wine is away from you.

15 But Ana answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit; I have neither drunk nor strong drink: but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

16 Do not therefore have your handmaid as the daughter of Belial: because of the multitude of my care and my displeasure I have spoken until now.

17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant you your request that you asked of him.

18 And she said, Find thy servant grace in your eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no longer sad.

19 And they arose early in the morning, and worshiped before the Lord, and returned, and came to the house, to Ramah, and Elkanah knew Ana, his wife, and the Lord remembered her.
