Subject: How did Hannah decide to give up Samuel? |
Bible Note: Searcher, I am sure the reference was to 1 Samuel 2:20. 18: Samuel was ministering before the LORD, a boy girded with a linen ephod. 19: And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year, when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20: Then Eli would bless Elka'nah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you children by this woman for the loan which she lent to the LORD"; so then they would return to their home. 21: And the LORD visited Hannah and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of the LORD. Emmaus |
