| 1 | Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite: | 1Sa 1:19 Mt 27:57 |
| 2 | and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. | Gn 4:19 Gn 4:23 Gn 29:23-29 Jg 8:30 Mt 19:8 |
| 3 | This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of Hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yahweh, were there. | Ex 23:14 Ex 23:17 Ex 34:23 Dt 16:16 Lk 2:41 |
| 4 | When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: | Lv 3:4 Lv 7:15 Dt 12:5-7 Dt 12:17-7 Dt 16:11 |
| 5 | but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb. | Gn 43:34 Gn 45:22 |
| 6 | Her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Yahweh had shut up her womb. | Lv 18:18 Jb 6:14 |
| 7 | [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yahweh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. | 1Sa 2:19 |
| 8 | Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why weep you? and why don`t you eat? and why is your heart grieved? am I not better to you than ten sons? | 2Sa 12:16 2Sa 12:17 2Ki 8:12 Jb 6:14 Jn 20:13 Jn 20:15 1Th 5:14 |
| 9 | So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the door-post of the temple of Yahweh. | 1Sa 3:3 1Sa 3:15 2Sa 7:2 Ps 5:7 Ps 27:4 Ps 29:9 |
| 10 | She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yahweh, and wept sore. | Ru 1:20 2Sa 17:8 Jb 7:11 Jb 9:18 Jb 10:1 Isa 38:15 Isa 54:6 Lam 3:15 |
| 11 | She vowed a vow, and said, Yahweh of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head. | Gn 28:20 Nm 21:2 Nm 30:3-8 Jg 11:30 Ec 5:4 |
| 12 | It happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli marked her mouth. | Lk 11:8-10 Lk 18:1 Eph 6:18 Col 4:2 1Th 5:17 Jm 5:16 |
| 13 | Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. | Gn 24:42-45 Ne 2:4 Ps 25:1 Ro 8:26 |
| 14 | Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? put away your wine from you. | Jsh 22:12-20 Jb 8:2 Ps 62:3 Pr 6:9 Mt 7:1-3 |
| 15 | Hannah answered, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh. | Pr 15:1 Pr 25:15 |
| 16 | Don`t count your handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto. | 1Sa 2:12 1Sa 10:27 1Sa 25:25 Dt 13:13 |
| 17 | Then Eli answered, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him. | 1Sa 25:35 1Sa 29:7 Jg 18:6 2Ki 5:19 Mk 5:34 Lk 7:50 Lk 8:48 |
| 18 | She said, Let your handmaid find favor in your sight. So the woman went her way, and ate; and her facial expression wasn`t sad any more. | Gn 32:5 Gn 33:8 Gn 33:15 Ru 2:13 |
| 19 | They rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Yahweh, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yahweh remembered her. | 1Sa 9:26 Ps 5:3 Ps 55:17 Ps 119:147 Mk 1:35 |
| 20 | It happened, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of Yahweh. | Gn 4:25 Gn 5:29 Gn 16:11 Gn 29:32-35 Gn 30:6-21 Gn 41:51 Gn 41:52 Ex 2:10 Ex 2:22 Mt 1:21 |
| 21 | The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. | 1Sa 1:3 Gn 18:19 Jsh 24:15 Ps 101:2 |
| 22 | But Hannah didn`t go up; for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and there abide forever. | Dt 16:16 Lk 2:22 Lk 2:41 Lk 2:42 |
| 23 | Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems you good; wait until you have weaned him; only Yahweh establish his word. So the woman waited and nursed her son, until she weaned him. | Nm 30:7-11 |
| 24 | When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of Yahweh in Shiloh: and the child was young. | Nm 15:9 Nm 15:10 Dt 12:5 Dt 12:6 Dt 12:11 Dt 16:16 |
| 25 | They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli. | Lk 2:22 Lk 18:15 Lk 18:16 |
| 26 | She said, Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh. | 1Sa 17:55 1Sa 20:3 Gn 42:15 2Sa 11:11 2Sa 14:19 2Ki 2:2 2Ki 2:4 2Ki 2:6 2Ki 4:30 |
| 27 | For this child I prayed; and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him: | 1Sa 1:11-13 Mt 7:7 |
| 28 | therefore also I have granted him to Yahweh; as long as he lives he is granted to Yahweh. He worshipped Yahweh there. | Gn 24:26 Gn 24:48 Gn 24:52 2Ti 3:15 |
