Read this first: 1 Samuel 1:12-14
Eli assumes the reason for Hannah's quiet talk at the festival is drunkenness. This shows how rotten Israel's worship now is and how the priesthood has lost its way. No wonder Hannah binds her son with a vow before sending him to live and work here. Alcohol easily becomes a domineering master who requires constant attention. It is to be used with care (Pr 23:29-35).
Based on the sermon “Lending to the Lord”
