¹ There was a man of Ramathaimzophim of mount Ephraim, named Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite: ² which had two wives, the one called Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. ³ And the said man went out of his city every feastful day, to pray and to offer unto the LORD of Hosts: where the two sons of Eli — Hophni and Phinehas — were the LORD's priests. ⁴ And it fell on a day, as Elkanah had offered, that he gave to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters portions. ⁵ But unto Hannah he gave a portion with a heavy cheer, for he loved her; nevertheless the LORD had made her barren. ⁶ And thereto her enemy Peninnah vexed her a good in casting her in the teeth how the LORD had made her barren. ⁷ And so did she year by year, as oft as she went up to the house of the LORD. And so chafed her: wherefore Hannah wept and ate not. ⁸ Then said Elkanah her husband to her, "Hannah why weepest thou? And why eatest thou not? And why is thine heart so troubled? Am not I better to thee, than ten sons?" ⁹ Then Hannah rose up after that they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh. And Eli the priest sat upon a stool by one of the side posts of the temple of the LORD. ¹⁰ And she was troubled in her spirits, and prayed unto the LORD and wept sore, ¹¹ and vowed a vow and said, "LORD of Hosts, if thou wilt look on the wretchedness of thine handmaid and shalt remember me and not forget thine handmaid, and shalt give unto thine handmaid a man child I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life and there shall neither razor or shears come upon his head." ¹² And as she continued praying before the LORD, Eli marked her mouth - ¹³ For Hannah, she spake in her heart; and her lips did but move only, but her voice was not heard. And therefore Eli took her for drunken, ¹⁴ and said unto her, "How long wilt thou be drunken? Put away from thee the wine that thou hast." ¹⁵ Hannah answered, and said, "Not so, my lord. I am a woman sorrowful in mine heart, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD. ¹⁶ Count not thine handmaid to be like a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my meditation and grief have I spoken hitherto." ¹⁷ Eli answered, and said, "Go in peace, the God of Israel shall grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him." ¹⁸ Then she said, "Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight." And so the woman went her way, and did eat and looked no more so sad. ¹⁹ And they rose up early and bowed themselves before the LORD, and then returned and went to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah lay by his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her. ²⁰ And in process of time she conceived and bare a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the LORD. ²¹ And Elkanah and all his house went up to offer unto the LORD, both the offerings due for the feast and also his vows. ²² But Hannah went not up, for she said unto her husband, "I will tarry until the lad be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and there abide forever." ²³ And Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seemeth thee best: tarry until thou hast weaned him, only the LORD make good his saying." And so the woman abode and gave her son suck, until she weaned him. ²⁴ And then she took him with her, when she had weaned him, with three bullocks and an ephah of flour and a bottle of wine, and brought him into the house of the LORD in Shiloh, how be it the child was yet young. ²⁵ And they slew the bullocks and brought in the lad to Eli, ²⁶ and then she said, "Oh my lord, as truly as thy soul liveth my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD. ²⁷ And for this lad I prayed, and the LORD hath given me my desire which I asked of him: ²⁸ and therefore I also lend him the LORD, as long as he may be lent the LORD." And so they prayed there unto the LORD.

¹¹ and vowed a vow and said, "LORD of Hosts, if thou wilt look on the wretchedness of thine handmaid and shalt remember me and not forget thine handmaid, and shalt give unto thine handmaid a man child I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life and there shall neither razor or shears come upon his head."

¹² But the sons of Eli were unthrifty children, and knew not the LORD. For the manner of the priests with the people was: ¹³ whensoever any man offered any offerings, the priest's lad came, while the flesh was in seething, and a flesh hook with three teeth in his hand; ¹⁴ and thrust it into the pan, kettle, cauldron or pot. And all that the flesh hook brought up the priest took away. And so they did unto all Israel that came thither to Shiloh. ¹⁵ Yea, and thereto before they had offered the fat, the priest's lad came and said to the man that offered, "Give flesh to roast for the priest, for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw." ¹⁶ And if any man said unto him, "Let the fat be offered according to the day, and then take as much as thine heart desireth." The lad would answer him, "Thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it with violence." ¹⁷ And the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD. For they despised the people, and also the offering of the LORD. ¹⁸ But the lad Samuel ministered before the LORD girded about with a linen ephod. ¹⁹ Moreover, his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from feast to feast when she came up with her husband to offer the offering of the said feast.

¹³ For I have told him that I will judge his house forever. For the wickedness which he knoweth, how his sons are ungracious, and he was not wroth therewith.

¹⁵ And Samuel lay till morning and then opened the doors of the house of the LORD. But Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

³ And when the people were come into their tents, the elders of Israel said, "Wherefore hath the LORD beaten us this day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD, out of Shiloh unto us, and let it come among us and save us out of the hands of our enemies." ⁴ And the people sent to Shiloh, and fetched from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts which dwelleth between the Cherubims. And there were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas with the ark of the covenant of God.

⁴ And the people sent to Shiloh, and fetched from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Hosts which dwelleth between the Cherubims. And there were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas with the ark of the covenant of God.

And he had judged Israel forty years.

⁵ Then when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to the young man that was with him, "Come, let us return, lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us." And he answered him,

¹² And this David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, named Jesse; which Jesse had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul among the people.

⁵⁵ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner the captain of his host, "Abner, whose son is this lad?" And Abner answered, "As truly as thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell."

³ And David sware again and said, "Thy father knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes and therefore he thinketh, 'Jonathan shall not know it, lest he be sorry.' For in very deed even as truly as the LORD liveth, and as truly as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death."

²⁵ Let not my lord regard this unthrifty man Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him. But I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord which thou sendest.

³⁵ And so David received of her hand that she brought him, and said to her, "Go in peace to thine house. And see, I have obeyed thy voice and have received thee to grace."

⁷ wherefore return and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines."

² he said unto Nathan the prophet, "Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar trees, but the Ark of God dwelleth in the midst of curtains."

²⁵ And now, LORD God, the thing thou hast said of thy servant and of his house: make it good forever and do as thou hast said.

¹¹ And Uriah said unto David, "The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in pavilions; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord lie in tents upon the flat earth — and should I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By thy life and as sure as thy soul liveth, I will not do that thing."

¹⁶ And David besought God for the boy and fasted and went and lay all night upon the earth. ¹⁷ And the elders of his house arose and went to him to take him up from the earth. But he would not, neither yet eat meat with them.

³⁶ And as soon as he had left speaking: behold, the king's sons came and lifted up their voices and wept. And thereto the king and all his servants wept exceedingly.

¹⁹ Then said the king, "Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this matter?" And the woman answered, and said, "As sure as thy soul liveth, my lord king, it is neither on the righthand nor on the left that my lord the king hath spoken. For thy servant Joab he bade me, and he put all these words even in the mouth of thine handmaid.

¹² Haply, the LORD will look on my wretchedness, and do me good for his cursing this day."

⁸ For," said Hushai, "thou knowest thy father and the men that are with him, how that they be strong men. And they be chafed in their minds, even as a bear robbed of her whelps. And thy father is a man practiced in war, and will not lie a nights among the common people.

²⁶ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah — whose mother was called Zeruah and was a widow and Solomon's servant — lifted up his hand against the king. And hereof came it, that he lifted up his hand against the king.

² Elijah and Elisha were going from Gilgal, and Elijah said to Elisha, "Tarry here, I pray thee, for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And when they came to Bethel,

⁴ Then said Elijah to Elisha, "Tarry here a fellowship: for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho." And he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as surely as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went to Jericho.

⁶ And Elijah said to him, "Tarry, I pray thee, here: for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan." But he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went both of them together.

³⁰ Notwithstanding, the mother of the child said, "As sure as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And then he arose and followed her.

¹⁹ And he said to him, "Go in peace."

¹² And Hazael said, "Why weepeth my lord?" And he answered, "For I know that thou shalt do evil unto the children of Israel: their strong cities thou shalt set on fire, and their young men thou shalt slay with the sword, and shalt dash out the brains of their sucking children: and all to tear their women with child."

³ "Oh LORD, remember yet how I have walked before thee truly and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight," and wept a great pace.

¹⁰ But Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "If thou shalt bless me, and enlarge my coasts, and shalt let thine hand be with me, and wilt keep me from evil that it vex me not." And God sent him his desire.

²⁵ The sons of Elkanah: Amasai, Ahimoth and Elkanah. ²⁶ The sons of Elkanah: Zophai whose son was Nahath, ²⁷ and his son Eliab and Jeroham his son, and Elkanah his son,

³⁴ the son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah,

⁴ Then said the king unto me, "What, then, is thy request?" Then made I my prayer to the God of heaven,

² "Oh that my misery were weighed, and my punishment laid in the balances: ³ For then should it be heavier than the sand of the sea. This is the cause, that my words are so sorrowful.

¹⁴ like as if one withdrew a good deed from his friend, and forsook the fear of the Almighty God?

¹¹ Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speak in the trouble of my spirit; in that bitterness of my mind will I talk.

² "How long wilt thou talk of such things? How long shall thy mouth speak so proud words?

¹⁸ He will not let my spirit be in rest, but filleth me with bitterness.

¹ It grieveth my soul to live. Nevertheless, now will I put forth my words: I will speak out of the very heaviness of my soul,

¹ It grieveth my soul to live. Nevertheless, now will I put forth my words: I will speak out of the very heaviness of my soul, ² and will say unto God: O do not condemn me; but show me the cause, wherefore thou contendest so with me.

¹⁴ if thou wouldst put away the wickedness which thou hast in hand, so that no ungodliness dwelt in thy house;

²³ For if thou wilt turn to the Almighty, thou shalt stand fast, and all unrighteousness shall be far from thy dwelling:

²¹ For they maintain the barren, and make them that they cannot bear, and unto widows they do no good.

¹⁶ Therefore is my mind poured full of heaviness, and the days of trouble have taken hold upon me.

³ My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O LORD. Early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

⁷ But as for me, I will come into thy house, even upon the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

⁹ The LORD hath heard my humble petition; the LORD will receive my prayer.

³ Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah ⁴ Grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy mind. ⁵ We will rejoice in thy health, and triumph in the name of the LORD our God! The LORD perform all thy petitions!

⁹ But thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet upon my mother's breasts.

⁶ O let thy loving-kindness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

¹ {A Psalm of David} Unto thee, O LORD, will I lift up my soul;

⁷ O remember not the sins and offenses of my youth; but according to thy mercy think upon me, O LORD, for thy goodness.

¹⁸ Look upon my adversity and misery, and forgive me all my sin.

⁴ One thing have I desired of the LORD, which I will require, even that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the LORD, and to visit his temple.

⁹ The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to bring forth young, and discovereth the thick bushes; in his temple doth every man speak of his honour.

⁴ Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself; for I went with the multitude, and brought them forth into the house of God, in the voice of praise and thanksgiving, among such as keep holy-day.

⁴ and that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

¹⁵ And call upon me in the time of trouble; so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me."

¹⁷ In the evening, and morning, and at noon day will I mourn and complain: and he shall hear my voice.

³ How long will ye imagine mischief against every man? Ye shall be slain, all of the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.

⁸ O put your trust in him always, ye people; pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.

¹⁹ But God hath heard me; and considered the voice of my prayer. ²⁰ Praised be God, which hath not cast out my prayer, nor turned his mercy from me.

⁶⁰ so that he forsook the Tabernacle in Shiloh, even the tent that he had pitched among men.

¹⁵ When he calleth upon me, I shall hear him: Yea I am with him in his trouble; whereout I will deliver him, and bring him to honour.

² O let me have understanding in the ways of Godliness, until the time that thou come unto me! I will walk in my house with a perfect heart.

⁴ The LORD sware, and will not repent, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

¹ I am well pleased, that the LORD hath heard the voice of my prayer, ² that he hath inclined his ear unto me; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ³ The snares of death compassed me round about, the pains of hell got hold upon me. ⁴ I shall find trouble and heaviness, and I will call upon the Name of the LORD, "O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul." ⁵ Gracious is the LORD, and righteous, yea our God is merciful.

⁵ I called upon the LORD in trouble, and the LORD heard me at large.

¹⁴⁷ Early in the morning do I cry unto thee; for in thy word is my trust.

¹ {A song of the stairs} LORD, remember David and all his trouble, ² how he swore unto the LORD, and vowed a vow unto the almighty one of Jacob,

²³ Who remembereth us, when we are in trouble! For his mercy endureth forever.

² I pour out my complaint before him, and show him of my trouble. ³ When my spirit is in heaviness, thou knowest my path: in the way wherein I walk have they privily laid a snare for me.

⁶ I stretch forth my hands unto thee; my soul gaspeth unto thee as a thirsty land. Selah.

²⁴ Put away from thee a froward mouth, and let the lips of slander be far from thee.

⁹ How long wilt thou sleep, thou sluggish man? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

¹ A soft answer putteth down displeasure, but froward words provoke anger.

¹⁵ With patience may a prince be pacified, and with a soft tongue may rigorousness be broken.

⁴ If thou make a vow unto God, be not slack to perform it. As for foolish vows, he hath no pleasure in them.

⁷ Go thou thy way then, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with gladness, for thy works please God.

⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

¹⁵ What shall I say? The Lord hath made a promise to me. Yea, and he himself hath performed it. I shall therefore, as long as I live, remember bitterness of my life.

²⁶ But I set up the purpose of my servants, and fulfill the counsel of my messengers. I say unto Jerusalem, "Turn again," and to the cities of Judah, "Be ye builded again," and I repair their decayed places.

¹ Therefore be glad now, thou barren that bearest not. Rejoice, sing and be merry, thou that art not with child: For the desolate hath more children, than the married wife, sayeth the LORD.

⁶ For the LORD shall call thee, being as a desolate sorrowful woman, and as a young wife that hath broken her wedlock, sayeth thy God.

¹² Go to my place in Shiloh, whereunto I gave my name afore time, and look well what I did to the same place for the wickedness of my people of Israel. ¹³ And now, though ye have done all these deeds, sayeth the LORD, and I myself rose up ever betimes to warn you and to commune with you, yet would ye not hear me: I called, ye would not answer. ¹⁴ And therefore even as I have done to Shiloh, so will I do to this house that my name is given unto, and that ye put your trust in: yea, unto the place that I have given to you and your fathers.

¹⁷ But if ye will not hear me, that give you secret warning, I will mourn from my whole heart for your stubbornness. Piteously will I weep, and the tears shall gush out of mine eyes. For the LORD's flock shall be carried away captive.

¹⁰ Mourn not over the dead, and be not woe for them, but be sorry for him that departeth away: for he cometh not again, and seeth his native country no more.

¹⁹ {Kuf} Stand up and make thy prayer in the first watch of the night; pour out thine heart like water before the LORD. Lift up thine hands for the lives of thy young children that die of hunger in the streets.

¹⁵ He hath filled me with bitterness, and given me wormwood to drink.

¹⁵ The LORD of Hosts shall defend them, they shall consume and devour, and subdue them with sling stones. They shall drink and rage, as it were through wine. They shall be filled like the basins, and as the horns of the altar.

²¹ She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins."

¹ Judge not, that ye be not judged. ² For as ye judge, so shall ye be judged: and with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to you again. ³ Why seest thou a mote in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

⁷ "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

³⁴ O generation of vipers, how can ye say well, when ye yourselves are evil? For of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth good things. And an evil man out of his evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things.

⁸ He said unto them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: But from the beginning it was not so.

¹⁹ Woe shall be in those days to them that are with child, and to them that give suck.

⁵⁷ When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea named Joseph, which same also was Jesus' disciple.

³⁵ And in the morning, very early, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed.

³⁴ And he said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

⁷ And they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren; And both were well stricken in age.

²² And when the time of their purification, after the law of Moses, was come they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord:

³⁶ And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Asher: which was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity.

⁴¹ And his father and mother went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of Easter.

⁴¹ And his father and mother went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of Easter. ⁴² And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.

⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, "Thy faith hath saved thee; Go in peace."

⁴⁸ And he said unto her, "Daughter, be of good comfort. Thy faith hath made thee whole, go in peace."

⁸ I say unto you, Though he would not arise and give him, because he is his friend: Yet because of his importunity he would rise and give him as many as he needed. ⁹ "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰ For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be opened.

²⁷ And it fortuned, as he thus spake those things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, "Happy is the womb that bare thee and the paps, which gave thee suck.

¹ He put forth a similitude unto them, signifying that men ought always to pray, and not to be weary,

¹⁵ They brought unto him also babes, that he should touch them. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Jesus called them unto him, and said, "Suffer children to come unto me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

⁴⁴ And he was in agony, and prayed somewhat longer: And his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground.

⁴² And he said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name. Ask and ye shall receive it: that our joy may be full.

¹³ And they said unto her, "Woman why weepest thou?" She said unto them, "For they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him."

¹⁵ Jesus said unto her, "Woman why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?" She, supposing that he had been the gardener, said unto him, "Sir if thou have borne him hence tell me where thou hast laid him, that I may fetch him."

¹³ Others mocked them saying, "They are full of new wine."

²⁶ Likewise, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not, what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue.

¹³ The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost.

⁷ suffereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth in all things.

²⁵ Wherefore, put away lying, and speak every man truth unto his neighbor, forasmuch as we are members one of another.

³¹ Let all bitterness, fierceness and wrath, roaring and cursed speaking, be put away from you, with all maliciousness.

¹⁸ and pray always with all manner prayer and supplication — and that in the spirit — and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints,

⁶ Be not careful: but in all things show your petition unto God in prayer and supplication with giving of thanks. ⁷ And the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts, and minds in Christ Jesus.

² Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thanksgiving,

¹⁴ We desire you brethren warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, forbear the weak, have continual patience toward all men.

¹⁷ Pray continually.

¹⁵ And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

⁷ Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, because of his godliness.

¹⁶ Knowledge your faults one to another: and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man availeth much, if it be fervent.

¹⁵ And if we know that he hear us whatsoever we ask, we know that we shall have the petitions that we desire of him.
