11 And she went on to make a vow+ and say: “O Jehovah of armies, if you will without fail look upon the affliction of your slave girl+ and actually remember me,+ and you will not forget your slave girl and actually give to your slave girl a male offspring, I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and no razor will come upon his head.”+

17 Then Eʹli answered and said: “Go in peace,+ and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”+

7 “Keep on asking,+ and it will be given YOU; keep on seeking, and YOU will find; keep on knocking,+ and it will be opened to YOU.

15 Further, if we know he hears us respecting whatever we are asking,+ we know we are to have the things asked since we have asked them of him.+
