1 SAMUEL 1:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.”
Do not take your handmaid for a daughter of Belial, for I have been speaking out of my great trouble and vexation—*bat-beliya'al* (daughter of worthlessness, of Belial) is strong language; she refutes the accusation with the rhetoric of innocence. Her *ya'asat* (speaking/complaining) is not irreverence but desperate petition.
