What was Hannah’s prayer concern?

Hannah was barren for a long time. Her husband’s second wife, Peninnah, teased her about it mercilessly. Hannah prayed, “O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt in deed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head” (KJV, I Samuel 1:11)
