Verse 15 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.

Hanna aber antwortete und sprach: Nein, mein Herr, ich bin ein betrübtes Weib. Wein und starkes Getränk habe ich nicht getrunken, sondern habe mein Herz vor dem HERRN ausgeschüttet.
Y Anna le respondió, diciendo: No, señor mío: mas yo soy una mujer trabajada de espíritu: no he bebido vino ni sidra, sino que he derramado mi alma delante de Jehová.
Ana respondió: «No, señor mío. Soy una mujer angustiada en espíritu. No he bebido vino ni bebida embriagadora; he derramado mi alma delante de Jehová.
Anne répondit: Non, mon seigneur, je suis une femme qui souffre en son coeur, et je n'ai bu ni vin ni boisson enivrante; mais je répandais mon âme devant l'Eternel.
Ma Anna rispose, e disse: No, signor mio; io sono una donna tribolata nello spirito, e non ho bevuto nè vino, nè cervogia; anzi spando l’anima mia davanti al Signore.
Porém Ana respondeu: Não, senhor meu, eu sou uma mulher atribulada de espírito; nem vinho nem bebida forte tenho bebido; porém tenho derramado a minha alma perante o SENHOR.
