1 Samuel 1:18-20
International Standard Version
18 She said, “Let your servant[a] find favor in your eyes.” Then she[b] went on her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.[c]
19 They got up early the next morning and worshipped in the Lord’s presence, and then they returned and came to their house at Ramah. Elkanah had marital relations with[d] his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. 20 By the time of the next year’s sacrifice,[e] Hannah had become pregnant and had borne a son. She named him Samuel[f] because she said,[g] “I asked the Lord for him.”
