Meaning it was heard. For God pities him and put him to sleep.

Οὐκ ἔπεσεν εἰς γῆν ἡ εὐχή· ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰσηκούσθη. οἰκτείρει γὰρ αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐς ὕπνον ἐνέβαλεν.

Notes

  1. The source of the headword phrase, presumably a quotation, is unidentifiable, but cf. I Kingdoms 3.19 LXX (about Samuel, sigma 80): "none of his words fell to earth."
