It turned out that she did a great deal of praying before the LORD. Meanwhile Eli was watching her mouth.
As for Hannah, she was speaking in her mind. Only her lips were moving; her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was a drunkard.
Then he said to her,“How much longer do you intend to get drunk? Put away your wine!”
But Hannah replied,“Not so, my lord! I am a woman under a great deal of stress. I haven’t drunk wine or beer. But I have poured out my soul before the LORD.
Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman. It’s just that, to this point, I have spoken from my deep pain and anguish.”
Eli replied,“Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant the request that you have asked of him.”
She said,“May I, your servant, find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and got something to eat. Her face no longer looked sad.
