Once when they were at Shiloh, Hannah went over
to the Tabernacle after supper to pray to the
Lord. Eli the priest was sitting at his
customary place beside the entrance. Hannah was
in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to
the Lord. And she made this vow O Lord
Almighty, if you will look down upon my sorrow
and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I
will give him back to you. He will be yours for
his entire lifetime,and as a sign that he has
been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never
be cut.

As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her.
Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he
thought she had been drinking. Must you come
here drunk? he demanded. Throw away your
wine! Oh no, sir! she replied, Im not drunk!
But I am very sad, and I was pouring out my
heart to the Lord. Please dont think I am a
wicked woman! For I have been praying out of
great anguish and sorrow.In that case, Eli
said, cheer up! May the God of Israel grant the
request you have asked of him.
4
Oh, thank you, sir! she exclaimed. Then she
went back and began to eat again, and she was no
longer sad. The entire family got up early the
next morning and went to worship the Lord once
more. Then they returned home to Ramah. When
Elkanah slept with Hannah, the Lord remembered
her request, and in due time she gave birth to a
son. She named him Samuel, for she said, I
asked the Lord for him. The next year Elkanah,
Peninnah, and their children went on their annual
trip to offer a sacrifice to the Lord.
5
But Hannah did not go. She told her husband,
Wait until the baby is weaned. Then I will take
him to the Tabernacle and leave him there with
the Lord permanently. Whatever you think is
best, Elkanah agreed. Stay here for now, and
may the Lord help you keep your promise. So she
stayed home and nursed the baby. When the child
was weaned, Hannah took him to the Tabernacle in
Shiloh. They brought along a three-year-old bull
for the sacrifice and half a bushel of flour and
some wine.
6
After sacrificing the bull, they took the child
to Eli. Sir, do you remember me? Hannah asked.
I am the woman who stood here several years ago
praying to the Lord. I asked the Lord to give me
this child, and he has given me my request. Now
I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong
to the Lord his whole life. And they worshiped
the Lord there. 1 Samuel 19-28
