In the text
1 Samuel 1:3And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.1 Samuel 1:9So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord.1 Samuel 1:12And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli marked her mouth.1 Samuel 1:13Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.1 Samuel 1:14And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.1 Samuel 1:17Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.1 Samuel 1:25And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.1 Samuel 2:11And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.1 Samuel 2:12Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord.1 Samuel 2:20And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home.
