Hannah’s Prayer
9 After eating and drinking, Hannah quietly got up and went to pray to the Lord.[a] Eli the priest was sitting on a chair near the door of the Lord’s Holy Building.[b] 10 Hannah was so sad that she cried the whole time she was praying to the Lord. 11 She made a special promise to God and said, “Lord All-Powerful, you can see how sad I am. Remember me. Don’t forget me. If you will give me a son, I will give him to you. He will be yours his whole life, and as a Nazirite, he will not drink wine or strong drink,[c] and no one will ever cut his hair.”
