1st Samuel Chapter 1 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Now there was a certain <H0259> man <H0376> of Ramathaimzophim, <H7413> <H6822><H7436> of mount <H2022> Ephraim, <H0669> and his name <H8034> [was] Elkanah, <H0511> the son <H1121> of Jeroham, <H3395> the son <H1121> of Elihu, <H0453> the son <H1121> of Tohu, <H8459> the son <H1121> of Zuph, <H6689> an Ephrathite: <H0673>
2: And he had two <H8147> wives; <H0802> the name <H8034> of the one <H0259> [was] Hannah, <H2584> and the name <H8034> of the other <H8145> Peninnah: <H6444> and Peninnah <H6444> had children, <H3206> but Hannah <H2584> had no children. <H3206>
3: And this <H1931> man <H0376> went up <H5927> out of his city <H5892> yearly <H3117> <H3117> to worship <H7812> and to sacrifice <H2076> unto the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> in Shiloh. <H7887> And the two <H8147> sons <H1121> of Eli, <H5941> Hophni <H2652> and Phinehas, <H6372> the priests <H3548> of the LORD, <H3068> [were] there.
4: And when the time <H3117> was that Elkanah <H0511> offered, <H2076> he gave <H5414> to Peninnah <H6444> his wife, <H0802> and to all her sons <H1121> and her daughters, <H1323> portions: <H4490>
5: But unto Hannah <H2584> he gave <H5414> a <H0259> worthy <H0639> portion; <H4490> for he loved <H0157> Hannah: <H2584> but the LORD <H3068> had shut up <H5462> her womb. <H7358>
6: And her adversary <H6869> also provoked <H3707> her sore, <H3708> for to make her fret, <H7481> because the LORD <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 the LORD, <H3068> so she provoked <H3707> her; therefore she wept, <H1058> and did not eat. <H0398>
8: Then said <H0559> Elkanah <H0511> her husband <H0376> to her, Hannah, <H2584> why weepest <H1058> thou? and why eatest <H0398> 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 <H0310> they had eaten <H0398> in Shiloh, <H7887> and after <H0310> they had drunk. <H8354> Now Eli <H5941> the priest <H3548> sat <H3427> upon a seat <H3678> by a post <H4201> of the temple <H1964> of the LORD. <H3068>
10: And she [was] in bitterness <H4751> of soul, <H5315> and prayed <H6419> unto the LORD, <H3068> and wept <H1058> sore. <H1058>
11: And she vowed <H5087> a vow, <H5088> and said, <H0559> O LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> if thou wilt indeed <H7200> look <H7200> on the affliction <H6040> of thine handmaid, <H0519> and remember <H2142> me, and not forget <H7911> thine handmaid, <H0519> but wilt give <H5414> unto thine handmaid <H0519> a man <H0582> child, <H2233> then I will give <H5414> him unto the LORD <H3068> all the days <H3117> of his life, <H2416> and there shall no razor <H4177> come <H5927> upon his head. <H7218>
12: And it came to pass, as she continued <H7235> praying <H6419> before <H6440> the LORD, <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 <H0559> unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? <H7937> put away <H5493> thy wine <H3196> from thee.
15: And Hannah <H2584> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559> No, my lord, <H0113> I [am] a woman <H0802> of a sorrowful <H7186> spirit: <H7307> I have drunk <H8354> neither wine <H3196> nor strong drink, <H7941> but have poured out <H8210> my soul <H5315> before <H6440> the LORD. <H3068>
16: Count <H5414> not thine handmaid <H0519> for <H6440> a daughter <H1323> of Belial: <H1100> for out of the abundance <H7230> of my complaint <H7879> and grief <H3708> have I spoken <H1696> hitherto.
17: Then Eli <H5941> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559> Go <H3212> in peace: <H7965> and the God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> grant <H5414> [thee] thy petition <H7596> that thou hast asked <H7592> of him.
18: And she said, <H0559> Let thine handmaid <H8198> find <H4672> grace <H2580> in thy sight. <H5869> So the woman <H0802> went <H3212> her way, <H1870> and did eat, <H0398> and her countenance <H6440> was no more [sad].
19: And they rose up in the morning <H1242> early, <H7925> and worshipped <H7812> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> and returned, <H7725> and came <H0935> to their house <H1004> to Ramah: <H7414> and Elkanah <H0511> knew <H3045> Hannah <H2584> his wife; <H0802> and the LORD <H3068> remembered <H2142> her.
20: Wherefore it came to pass, when the time <H3117> was come <H8622> about after Hannah <H2584> had conceived, <H2029> that she bare <H3205> a son, <H1121> and called <H7121> his name <H8034> Samuel, <H8050> [saying], Because I have asked <H7592> him of the LORD. <H3068>
21: And the man <H0376> Elkanah, <H0511> and all his house, <H1004> went up <H5927> to offer <H2076> unto the LORD <H3068> the yearly <H3117> sacrifice, <H2077> and his vow. <H5088>
22: But Hannah <H2584> went not up; <H5927> for she said <H0559> unto her husband, <H0376> [I will not go up] until the child <H5288> be weaned, <H1580> and [then] I will bring <H0935> him, that he may appear <H7200> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> and there abide <H3427> for <H5704> ever. <H5769>
23: And Elkanah <H0511> her husband <H0376> said <H0559> unto her, Do <H6213> what seemeth <H5869> thee good; <H2896> tarry <H3427> until thou have weaned <H1580> him; only the LORD <H3068> establish <H6965> his word. <H1697> So the woman <H0802> abode, <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 <H0259> ephah <H0374> of flour, <H7058> and a bottle <H5035> of wine, <H3196> and brought <H0935> him unto the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> in Shiloh: <H7887> and the child <H5288> [was] young. <H5288>
25: And they slew <H7819> a bullock, <H6499> and brought <H0935> the child <H5288> to Eli. <H5941>
26: And she said, <H0559> Oh <H0994> my lord, <H0113> [as] thy soul <H5315> liveth, <H2416> my lord, <H0113> I [am] the woman <H0802> that stood <H5324> by thee here, praying <H6419> unto the LORD. <H3068>
27: For this child <H5288> I prayed; <H6419> and the LORD <H3068> hath given <H5414> me my petition <H7596> which I asked <H7592> of him:
28: Therefore also I have lent <H7592> him to the LORD; <H3068> as long <H3605> as <H3117> he liveth he shall be lent <H7592> to the LORD. <H3068> And he worshipped <H7812> the LORD <H3068> there.
