1 Samuel 1:10-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
10She, greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. 11And she made a vow and said, 'Lord of armies, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your bond-servant and remember me, and not forget Your bond-servant, but will give Your bond-servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head.'
12Now it came about, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli was watching her mouth.
13As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were quivering, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought that she was drunk.
14Then Eli said to her, 'How long will you behave like a drunk? Get rid of your wine!'
15But Hannah answered and said, 'No, my lord, I am a woman despairing in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
16Do not consider your bond-servant a useless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation.'
17Then Eli answered and said, 'Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your request that you have asked of Him.'
King James Version
Chapter 1
10And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 11And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 12And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. 13Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 14And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. 15And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. 16Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 17Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
10Deeply hurt, Hannah prayed to the Lord and wept with many tears. 11Making a vow, she pleaded, "Lord of Armies, if you will take notice of your servant's affliction, remember and not forget me, and give your servant a son, I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut."
12While she continued praying in the Lord's presence, Eli watched her mouth.
13Hannah was praying silently, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. Eli thought she was drunk
14and said to her, "How long are you going to be drunk? Get rid of your wine! "
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
10Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord. 11And she made this vow: 'O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut. '
12As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her.
13Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking.
14Must you come here drunk?' he demanded. 'Throw away your wine!'

Chapter 1
10She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly. 11And she vowed a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head.”
12As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.
13Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.
14And Eli said to her, “How long will you go on being drunk? Put your wine away from you.”
15But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.
16Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.”
17Then Eli answered, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have made to him.”

12As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.
13Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk
14and said to her, 'How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.'
