1 Samuel 1

Hannah’s deep grief over barrenness brings her to the tabernacle at Shiloh, where she pours out her heart before the LORD and vows that a son given to her will be devoted to His service. God answers, Samuel is born, and after he is weaned Hannah brings him to Eli to serve before the LORD.
