5 ♥ 📝 but unto Hannah^H2584 he gave^H5414 a^H259 double^H639 portion;^H4490 for he loved^H157 Hannah,^H2584 but Jehovah^H3068 had shut up^H5462 her womb.^H7358

6 ♥ 📝 And her rival^H6869 provoked^H3707 her sore,^H3708 to make her fret,^H7481 because Jehovah^H3068 had shut^H5462 up^H1157 her womb.^H7358

7 ♥ 📝 And [as] he did^H6213 so year^H8141 by year,^H8141 when^H1767 she went up^H5927 to the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 so she provoked^H3707 her; therefore she wept,^H1058 and did not eat.^H398

8 ♥ 📝 And Elkanah^H511 her husband^H376 said^H559 unto her, Hannah,^H2584 why weepest^H1058 thou? and why eatest^H398 thou not? and why is thy heart^H3824 grieved?^H3415 am not I better^H2896 to thee than ten^H6235 sons?^H1121

9 ♥ 📝 So Hannah^H2584 rose up^H6965 after^H310 they had eaten^H398 in Shiloh,^H7887 and after^H310 they had drunk.^H8354 Now Eli^H5941 the priest^H3548 was sitting^H3427 upon his seat^H3678 by the door-post^H4201 of the temple^H1964 of Jehovah.^H3068

10 ♥ 📝 And she was in bitterness^H4751 of soul,^H5315 and prayed^H6419 unto Jehovah,^H3068 and wept^H1058 sore.^H1058

12 ♥ 📝 And it came to pass, as she continued^H7235 praying^H6419 before^H6440 Jehovah,^H3068 that Eli^H5941 marked^H8104 her mouth.^H6310

13 ♥ 📝 Now Hannah,^H2584 she spake^H1696 in her heart;^H3820 only her lips^H8193 moved,^H5128 but her voice^H6963 was not heard:^H8085 therefore Eli^H5941 thought^H2803 she had been drunken.^H7910

14 ♥ 📝 And Eli^H5941 said^H559 unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken?^H7937 put away^H5493 thy wine^H3196 from thee.

16 ♥ 📝 Count^H5414 not thy handmaid^H519 for^H6440 a wicked^H1100 woman;^H1323 for out of the abundance^H7230 of my complaint^H7879 and my provocation^H3708 have I spoken^H1696 hitherto.

17 ♥ 📝 Then Eli^H5941 answered^H6030 and said,^H559 Go^H3212 in peace;^H7965 and the God^H430 of Israel^H3478 grant^H5414 thy petition^H7596 that thou hast asked^H7592 of him.

18 ♥ 📝 And she said,^H559 Let thy handmaid^H8198 find^H4672 favor^H2580 in thy sight.^H5869 So the woman^H802 went^H3212 her way,^H1870 and did eat;^H398 and her countenance^H6440 was no more [sad].

19 ♥ 📝 And they rose up^H7925 in the morning^H1242 early,^H7925 and worshipped^H7812 before^H6440 Jehovah,^H3068 and returned,^H7725 and came^H935 to their house^H1004 to Ramah:^H7414 and Elkanah^H511 knew^H3045 Hannah^H2584 his wife;^H802 and Jehovah^H3068 remembered^H2142 her.

20 ♥ 📝 And it came to pass, when the time^H3117 was come^H8622 about, that Hannah^H2584 conceived,^H2029 and bare^H3205 a son;^H1121 and she called^H7121 his name^H8034 Samuel,^H8050 [saying], Because I have asked^H7592 him of Jehovah.^H3068

22 ♥ 📝 But Hannah^H2584 went not up;^H5927 for she said^H559 unto her husband,^H376 [I will not go up] until the child^H5288 be weaned;^H1580 and then I will bring^H935 him, that he may appear^H7200 before^H6440 Jehovah,^H3068 and there abide^H3427 for^H5704 ever.^H5769

23 ♥ 📝 And Elkanah^H511 her husband^H376 said^H559 unto her, Do^H6213 what seemeth^H5869 thee good;^H2896 tarry^H3427 until thou have weaned^H1580 him; only Jehovah^H3068 establish^H6965 his word.^H1697 So the woman^H802 tarried^H3427 and gave her son^H1121 suck,^H3243 until she weaned^H1580 him.

24 ♥ 📝 And when she had weaned^H1580 him, she took him up^H5927 with her, with three^H7969 bullocks,^H6499 and one^H259 ephah^H374 of meal,^H7058 and a bottle^H5035 of wine,^H3196 and brought^H935 him unto the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068 in Shiloh:^H7887 and the child^H5288 was young.^H5288

25 ♥ 📝 And they slew^H7819 the bullock,^H6499 and brought^H935 the child^H5288 to Eli.^H5941

27 ♥ 📝 For this child^H5288 I prayed;^H6419 and Jehovah^H3068 hath given^H5414 me my petition^H7596 which I asked^H7592 of him:
