1 Samuel 1:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Once, when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s temple. ¹⁰ Hannah’s spirit was very distressed, and as she prayed to the Lord, she sobbed and wept many tears. ¹¹ She made a vow and said, “O Lord of Armies, if you will carefully consider the misery of your servant and remember me, and if you do not forget your servant but give your servant a male child,^[a] then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever touch his head.”
