Hannah, the childless wife of Elkanah, grieved because she had no children. Her rival wife, Peninnah, compounded her misery by taunting her because of her barrenness. Hannah, as she prayed in the sanctuary of God at Shiloh, vowed that if God would allow her to bear a son, she would dedicate him back to God. God heard and answered her prayer and she gave birth to Samuel. True to her vow, after she gave birth to the child and weaned him, she brought him to the sanctuary and placed him in the service of God at Shiloh under the priest Eli.
