Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest

was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the LORD’s house. 10 In her deep anguish Hannah prayed

to the LORD, weeping bitterly. 11 And she made a vow, saying, “LORD Almighty, if you will only look

on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I

will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.”
