The Story of Hannah and Samuel in the Book of 1 Samuel
- Elkanah, a man from Ramathaim, had two wives: Peninnah and Hannah.
- Hannah was barren, and Peninnah had children, which caused tension between the wives.
- Elkanah would give portions of meat to Peninnah and her children, but he gave a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, even though the Lord had closed her womb.
- Hannah prayed to the Lord in deep anguish, promising to give her son to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor would ever be used on his head.
- Eli, the priest, observed Hannah praying and thought she was drunk, but she explained she was pouring out her soul to the Lord.
- Eli blessed Hannah, and the Lord remembered her, so she became pregnant and gave birth to a son named Samuel.
- Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord and left him to be raised by Eli in the house of the Lord.
- Eli's sons were scoundrels who had no regard for the Lord and treated the Lord's offering with contempt.
- Samuel grew up ministering before the Lord, wearing a linen ephod.
- A man of God prophesied against the house of Eli, saying that no one in his family line would ever reach old age and that his two sons would die on the same day.
- The Lord promised to raise up a faithful priest who would minister before His anointed one always.
