RF SA1 1:1 (B.C. 1171.) Samuel's Parentage.
THERE was a certain man of Ramathaim-Zofim, in Mount Ephraim, whose name was Alkanah ben Jarkham, ben Aliahah, ben Tokho, ben Tzuf, the Afthrathite;
RF SA1 1:2 and he had two wives, the name of the first was Hannah, and the name of the second Peninah, and Peninah had children, but Hannah had none.
RF SA1 1:3 This man went up yearly from his village to worship, and to sacrifice to the LORD of HOSTS in Shiloh, where two sons of Eli Khofni 1 and Finikhas 2 were priests to the EVER-LIVING.

RF SA1 1:4 When it was Alkanah's day for sacrifice, he gave to Peninah his wife, and to all, her sons and daughters, portions,
RF SA1 1:5 but to Hannah he only gave a single portion, although he loved Hannah, for the EVER-LIVING had closed her womb.
RF SA1 1:6 So she was vexed, anguished, and laboured with rage, because the EVER-LIVING shut up her womb.
RF SA1 1:7 Alkanah's Wife Hannah prays for a Son.
He did this year after year when he went up to the House of the EVER-LIVING; so she was vexed and would not eat.
RF SA1 1:8 Alkanah therefore said to her, "Wife Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? Why is your heart bad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
RF SA1 1:9 Hannah however arose after eating and drinking in Shiloh,—and Eli the Priest sat upon the chair at the door of the Temple of the EVER-LIVING,—
RF SA1 1:10 for her soul was bitter, and she prayed to the EVER-LIVING, and weeping she wept.
RF SA1 1:11 She also vowed a vow, and said, "Lord of HOSTS, if You will look on the anguish of Your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, but grant to Your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the EVER-LIVING all the days of his life, and a razor shall not go over his head."
RF SA1 1:12 But while she continued to pray before the EVER-LIVING Eli watched her mouth.
RF SA1 1:13 Hannah however spoke from her heart, only moving her lips, and no sound was heard, consequently Eli thought she was drunk.
RF SA1 1:14 Eli therefore said to her, "Why have you made yourself drunk? Cast the wine from you!"
RF SA1 1:15 But Hannah answered him, "No, my Lord! I am only a woman of depressed spirit. I have not drunk wine nor strong drink, but I am pouring out my soul before the EVER-LIVING.
RF SA1 1:16 Do not consider your hand-maid as a daughter of Belial because I speak so much, for I have uttered my many griefs and sorrows so far."
RF SA1 1:17 Then Eli replied and said, "Go in peace! and may the GOD of Israel give you the request you ask from Him."
RF SA1 1:18 And she answered, "May your servant find favour in your sight." The woman then went away, and ate, and afterwards her face was not the same.
RF SA1 1:19 (B.C. 1170.) Samuel Born.
In the morning they got up and worshipped before the EVER-LIVING, and then returned to their home at Raamah, where Alkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the EVER-LIVING remembered her,
RF SA1 1:20 and at the end of the year Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel 3 because I have asked him from the EVER-LIVING.
RF SA1 1:21 When the man Alkanah and all his family went up to sacrifice to the EVER-LIVING at the yearly sacrifice, and for his vows,
RF SA1 1:22 Hannah went not up with him, "for," she said to her husband, "not until I wean the boy, and take him up to the EVER-LIVING,—then he shall always stay there."
RF SA1 1:23 So Alkanah replied to his wife, "Do as seems good to you. Stay until you wean him, and may the EVER-LIVING confirm His promise to you!" Consequently the woman remained and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
RF SA1 1:24 Then she went up with him, when he was weaned, taking three bulls, and an epha of flour, and a skin of wine, and arrived at the House of the EVER-LIVING in Shiloh with the lad,
RF SA1 1:25 and killed the bull, and brought the lad to Eli,
RF SA1 1:26 and said, "My Lord, let your soul live. I, Sir, am the woman who stood here at the door to pray to the EVER-LIVING.
RF SA1 1:27 I prayed for this lad, and the EVER-LIVING granted to me the request I asked.
RF SA1 1:28 So now as I asked him from the EVER-LIVING I myself dedicate him to the EVER-LIVING all the days of his life, and he shall worship the EVER-LIVING here."
