1 Samuel 1:12-14

1:12 As she continued praying to ¹  the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth. 1:13 Now Hannah was speaking from her heart. Although her lips were moving, her voice was inaudible. Eli therefore thought she was drunk. 1:14 So he ²  said to her, “How often do you intend to get drunk? Put away your wine!”

[1:12]  ¹ tc Heb “before.” Many medieval Hebrew manuscripts read “to.”

[1:14]  ² tn Heb “Eli.” The pronoun (“he”) has been used in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style.
