## 1 Samuel 1:15-16 in Context (Verses 12–19 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/12) And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/13) Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/14) And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/15) And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I *am* a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.*
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/16) Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/17) Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant *thee* thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/18) And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more *sad*.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-samuel/1/19) ¶ And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
