10 In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD {YHWH} and wept with many tears. 11 And she made a vow, saying, “O LORD {YHWH} of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever touch his head.” 12 As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD {YHWH}, Eli (ascension) watched her mouth. 13 Hannah (grace) was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli (ascension) thought she was drunk 14 and said to her (ascension), “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!” 15 “No, my lord,” Hannah (grace) replied. “I am a woman troubled in spirit {ruach}. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD {YHWH}. 16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman, for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.” 17 “Go in peace,” Eli (ascension) replied, “and may the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God) grant the petition you have asked of Him.” 1 Samuel 1:10-17, Berean Annotated Bible.
