Contextual Overview

⁹ So after they had taken food and wine in the guest room, Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was seated by the pillars of the doorway of the Temple of the Lord. ¹⁰ And with grief in her soul, weeping bitterly, she made her prayer to the Lord. ¹¹ And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut. ¹² Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth. ¹³ For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine. ¹⁴ And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you. ¹⁵ And Hannah, answering him, said, No, my lord, I am a woman whose spirit is broken with sorrow: I have not taken wine or strong drink, but I have been opening my heart before the Lord. ¹⁶ Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain. ¹⁷ Then Eli said to her, Go in peace: and may the God of Israel give you an answer to the prayer you have made to him. ¹⁸ And she said, May your servant have grace in your eyes. So the woman went away, and took part in the feast, and her face was no longer sad.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Eli answered and said, go in peace,.... He found he was mistaken in her, and that her discourse was not only sober and rational, but religious and spiritual; and therefore dismisses her in peace, and bids her not distress herself with what he had said to her, nor with anything she had met with from others, or from the Lord; but expect peace and prosperity, and particularly success in what she had been engaged, and had been solicitous for:

and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him; which may be considered either as a prayer for her, he joining with her in a request to the Lord, that what she had asked might be granted; or as a prophecy that so it would be, it being revealed to him by the Holy Ghost, as the high priest of the Lord; or impressed by an impulse upon his spirit that the favour asked would be given; and therefore she might go home in peace, and with satisfaction of mind.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 1:17. Grant thee thy petition — He was satisfied he had formed a wrong judgment, and by it had added to the distress of one already sufficiently distressed.

The fact that Eli supposed her to be drunken, and the other of the conduct of Eli's sons already mentioned, prove that religion was at this time at a very low ebb in Shiloh; for it seems drunken women did come to the place, and lewd women were to be found there.
