-Hannah's prayer to Yahweh continues.

 # the affliction of your servant
 
-The abstract noun "affliction" can be translated as a verb phrase. This refers either to 1) Hannah being unable to become pregnant. Alternate translation: "how I am suffering because I cannot become pregnant" or 2) the way Peninnah always insulted her. Alternate translation: "how that woman is afflicting me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
+"how I am suffering because I cannot become pregnant" or "how that woman is afflicting me" 
 
 # call me to mind
 
-This is a special plea to God to take action on Hannah's behalf. God does know what is happening to Hannah; he has not forgotten.
