Hannah’s vow, and the words of Eli the priest

한나의 서원과 제사장 엘리의 말

1 Samuel 1:9–18: so Hannah rises up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest is sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple. She is in bitterness of soul, and prays to the LORD, weeping bitterly. She vows a vow, and says, “LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.” As she continues praying before the LORD, Eli sees her mouth. Now Hannah speaks in her heart. Only her lips move, but her voice is not heard. Therefore Eli thinks she is drunk. Eli says to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!” Hannah answers, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before the LORD. Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.” Then Eli answers, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.” She says, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman goes her way and eats; and her facial expression isn’t sad any more. The Korean Revised Version names no speaker at 1:18.
