1 Samuel 1:12

Read in context

1 Samuel 1:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD and wept with many tears.

11 And she made a vow, pleading, “O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.”

12 As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.

13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk

14 and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”
