Hannah makes her vow

9After they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of Yahweh.

10And she was bitter in soul, and she prayed to Yahweh and wept bitterly.

11She made a vow and said, “O Yahweh of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your female servant, and remember me, and not forget your female servant, but give your female servant a male child, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”
