1 Samuel 2:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for [a]the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed unto their place.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons, and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.
22 ¶ So Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how they lay with the women that [b]assembled at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

New International Version
20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed(A) for and gave to[a] the Lord.” Then they would go home. 21 And the Lord was gracious to Hannah;(B) she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew(C) up in the presence of the Lord.
22 Now Eli, who was very old, heard about everything(D) his sons were doing to all Israel and how they slept with the women(E) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
