1 Samuel 1:19-1 Samuel 2:11 - The Birth Of Samuel

19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before Jehovah, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembered her. 20 And it happened when the time had come around, Hannah conceived and bore a son and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Jehovah.

21 And the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, Until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him so that he may appear before Jehovah and stay there forever.

23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to you. Stay until you have weaned him. Only may Jehovah establish His Word. So the woman stayed and gave her son suck until she weaned him. 24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah in Shiloh. And the child was young. 25 And they killed a bull, and brought the child to Eli.

26 And she said, O, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Jehovah. 27 For this boy I was praying, and Jehovah has given me my petition which I asked of Him. 28 And I have returned him to Jehovah. As long as he lives, he shall be given to Jehovah. And he worshiped Jehovah there.

1 And Hannah prayed and said, My heart rejoices in Jehovah, my horn is exalted in Jehovah. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies because I rejoice in Your salvation. 2 There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none beside You. Neither is there any rock like our God. 3 Talk no more so very proudly. Remove arrogance out of your mouth, for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed. 4 The bows of the mighty are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 5 They that were full have hired themselves out for bread, and they that were hungry ceased; yea, while the barren has borne seven, and she who had many sons has languished. 6 Jehovah kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. 7 Jehovah takes away, and He gives riches; He brings low; yea, He lifts up high. 8 He raises up the poor out of the dust; He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to set them among princes; yea, He causes them to inherit a throne of honor; for to Jehovah are the pillars of the earth; and He sets the habitable world on them. 9 He keeps the feet of his saints, and the wicked are silenced in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10 The foes of Jehovah shall be broken to pieces. He thunders in the heavens upon them. Jehovah shall judge the ends of the earth. And He shall give strength to His king, and exalts the horn of His anointed.

11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.
