And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Samuel. Samuel’s birth and dedication show how a promise made in prayer becomes a concrete offering. Hannah does not retain the son she received, but brings him to Shiloh when she can fulfill her vow. Hannah’s statement that she asked the Lord and received an answer establishes a relationship between prayer, divine response, and consecration. The episode anticipates one of the book’s major narrative principles: God raises human instruments to accomplish his purposes while requiring those instruments to remain submitted to him.

Anne dit: Mon seigneur, pardon! aussi vrai que ton âme vit, mon seigneur, je suis cette femme qui me tenais ici près de toi pour prier l'Eternel.
Ed Anna gli disse: Ahi! signor mio; come l’anima tua vive, signor mio, io son quella donna che stava qui appresso di te, per fare orazione al Signore.
E disse ela: Ah, meu senhor, viva a tua alma, meu SENHOR; eu sou aquela mulher que aqui esteve contigo, para orar ao SENHOR.
