Contextual Overview
9 And Hannah rose up after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking. And Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the side post of the temple of Jehovah. 10 And she was bitter of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and weeping she wept. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of Hosts, if looking You will look upon the affliction of Your handmaid, and shall remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, and shall give to Your handmaid a seed of men, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life; and a razor shall not go up on his head. 12 And it happened, when she prayed long before Jehovah, Eli was watching her mouth. 13 And Hannah was speaking in her heart; only, her lips moved; but her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought that she was drunk. 14 And Eli said to her, Until when will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you. 15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord; I am a woman pained in spirit. And I have not drunk wine or fermented drink, but I am pouring out my soul before Jehovah. 16 Do not put your handmaid down for a daughter of wickedness; for from the abundance of my complaint and frustration until now I have been speaking. 17 And Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and may the God of Israel give you your petition which you have asked of Him. 18 And she said, Let your handmaid find grace in your eyes. And the woman went her way, and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord,.... Being very earnest and importunate with him to grant her request, and therefore repeated her petition, and prolonged her prayer, being unwilling to let the Lord go, until she had a promise, or some satisfaction, that she should have the thing she liked; some think she continued an hour in prayer:
that Eli marked her mouth; observed the motion of her lips, and no doubt her distorted countenance, and uplifted eyes and hands, but chiefly the former; not knowing what the woman was at, and what could be the meaning of such motions.
