Verse 17 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.

Eli antwortete und sprach: Gehe hin mit Frieden; der Gott Israels wird dir geben deine Bitte, die du von ihm gebeten hast.

Elí respondió: «Ve en paz, y que el Dios de Israel te conceda la petición que le has hecho».
Eli reprit la parole, et dit: Va en paix, et que le Dieu d'Israël exauce la prière que tu lui as adressée!
Ed Eli rispose, e disse: Vattene in pace; l’Iddio d’Israele ti conceda la richiesta che tu gli hai fatta.
Então respondeu Eli: Vai em paz; e o Deus de Israel te conceda a petição que lhe fizeste.
