Hannah, one of Elkanah’s two wives, is childless and tormented by her rival. In deep distress she prays at the tabernacle in Shiloh, vowing that if the LORD gives her a son she will devote him to God’s service all his life. Eli the priest, mistaking her silent prayer for drunkenness, then blesses her; the LORD remembers her, and she bears Samuel (“asked of God”), whom she brings to Eli once he is weaned.
