The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Read word by wordNow there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Read word by wordHe had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
Read word by wordYear after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.

Read word by wordBecause the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her viciously to taunt her.
Read word by wordAnd this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.
Read word by word“Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

Read word by wordAs Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.
Read word by wordHannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk
Read word by wordand said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”
Read word by word“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.
Read word by word“Go in peace,” Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
Read word by word“May your maidservant find favor with you,” said Hannah. Then she went on her way, and she began to eat, and her face was no longer downcast.
Read word by wordThe next morning they got up early to bow in worship before the LORD, and then they returned home to Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
Read word by wordSo in the course of time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the LORD.”

Read word by word“Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD confirm His word.” So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
Read word by wordOnce she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
Read word by wordAnd when they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.
Read word by word“Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
Read word by wordI prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him,
Read word by wordI now dedicate the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD.” So they worshiped the LORD there.
Read word by wordAt that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD; my horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
Read word by wordThe LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
Read word by wordHe raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
Read word by wordThen Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before Eli the priest.
Read word by wordor for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling
Read word by wordand plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
Read word by wordEven before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
Read word by wordAnd if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”
Read word by wordThus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
Read word by wordEach year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
Read word by wordAnd Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.
Read word by wordSo the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
Read word by wordNow Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Read word by word“Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.
Read word by wordIf a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.
Read word by wordThen a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?
Read word by wordAnd out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the food offerings of the Israelites.
Read word by wordWhy then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
Read word by wordBehold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no one in it will reach old age.
Read word by wordYou will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.
Read word by wordThen I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.

Read word by wordAnd at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.
