'How Long' in the Bible

Then Eli said to her, "How long will you behave like someone [who is] drunk? Put away your wine!"

Then Yahweh said to Samuel, "{How long} will you mourn about Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel! Fill up your horn [with] oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have chosen a king for myself among his sons."
