Hannah
Hannah was married
to an Israelite man, a Levite
named Elkanah. They had no children and
Hannah was very sad.
The family went to Shiloh
to worship and Hannah prayed for a son. She
promised to return him to serve the Lord. Her lips
were moving, but no
sound came out and Eli
the priest thought she was drunk. She told him
her story. He told her to go home and in time
she would have the son
she desired. Now
Hannah was happy. She did have a son and
named him
Samuel. She kept her promise and
took him to live with Eli the priest.
Every year
Hannah took Samuel a new robe to wear.
