And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 10 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Samuel. Hannah transforms her affliction into prayer and makes a solemn vow: if God grants her a son, she will dedicate him to the service of the Lord. Eli initially misunderstands her behavior, but eventually recognizes her request and pronounces a blessing. The scene emphasizes that biblical prayer can arise from deep anguish without becoming despair. Hannah’s vow also prepares the theological meaning of Samuel’s birth: the child she requested will not simply be a family answer, but a person devoted to God’s purpose.

Und sie war von Herzen betrübt und betete zum HERRN und weinte sehr
Ella con amargura de alma oró a Jehová, y lloró abundantemente.
Et, l'amertume dans l'âme, elle pria l'Eternel et versa des pleurs.
ed essendo in amaritudine d’animo, pregò il Signore, e piangea dirottamente.
Ela, pois, com amargura de alma, orou ao SENHOR, e chorou abundantemente.
哈拿 心裏愁苦,就痛痛哭泣,向耶和華祈禱。
