Hannah, who was sad due to her inability to have children with her husband Elkanah, turned to God in prayer for many years. Elkanah expressed his love for her, stating he loved her more than many children. During their annual visits to the Temple to give thanks, Hannah intensified her prayers, making a vow to God: if granted a son, she would dedicate him to serve in the temple. The priest Eli observed her silently praying and initially mistook her for being drunk, but upon learning the truth, assured her that God had heard her prayer. Subsequently, Hannah rejoiced with Elkanah, announcing their impending parenthood and confirming her promise to dedicate their child to God. Their son was born and named Samuel.
