After the priest Eli misjudges her prayer, Hannah’s promise brings her renewed hope and God answers. Samuel is born and, when old enough, Hannah brings him to the tabernacle and continues to worship faithfully. The story contrasts faithful devotion with Eli’s sons’ dishonor and ends with Samuel hearing God’s voice calling his name.","17 Samuel, God's Boy-Servant  \nWritten by Edward Hughes [www.bibleforchildren.org](www.bibleforchildren.org) 17/60  \nEnglish Story Book  \nHannah was a good woman, married to Elkanah, a goodman . They both worshipped God and showed kindness to others . But something was missing from Hannah's life. She wanted to have a baby. Oh, how she wanted a baby! She waited and prayed and hoped and waited some more . No baby came!  \nEvery year, Hannah went to worship at God's Tabernacle . One year she promised God that if He let her have a son, she would give the boy to be God's servant forever .  \nOld Eli the priest saw Hannah praying. He thought Hannah was drunk with wine because her lips moved but no sound came . Eli scolded Hannah!  \nBut Hannah told Eli about her prayer for a child and her promise to God.“Go in peace,” Eli answered.“And the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” Eli's words gave Hannah hope .  \nSoon great joy filled Hannah's heart.“The LORD remembered her” and answered her prayer . She and Elkanah had a little boy who was named Samuel (which means “Heard by God”) . But would Hannah remember the LORD and her promise to Him?  \nHannah stopped going to the tabernacle each year . Oh, dear! Had she broken her promise to God? No, Hannah was waiting until Samuel was old enough to live at the tabernacle and help Eli in God’s service . Then she brought him to the tabernacle .  \nGod honored Hannah's great faithfulness . After Samuel, God gave her three more sons and two daughters . Every year, Hannah went to the tabernacle to worship God – and to bring a new robe she made for Samuel.  \nSamuel was not Eli's only helper . Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, also worked there . But they dishonored God by doing wicked things, and would not change even when their father Eli begged them . Eli should have fired them from working in the tabernacle . But he didn't.  \nOne night, Samuel heard a voice call him. The boy thought it was Eli calling.“Here I am,” he said.“I did not call,” Eli replied. This happened three times . Then Eli knew God wanted to speak to Samuel.","cbCaimCfZzy4jOl4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimCfZzy4jOl4","pdf",1969359,24,"English","en",105,"# Hannah’s Promise\n# Samuel Dedicated to the Tabernacle\n# God Calls Samuel","[{\"question\":\"What happened when Samuel heard a voice at night?\",\"answer\":\"Samuel heard a voice calling him and thought it was Eli; after it happened three times, Eli realized God wanted to speak to Samuel.\"}]",1784130242,37,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":77,"head_meta":79,"extra_data":81,"updated_unix":26},"samuel-gods-boy-servant","",{"@graph":34,"@context":76},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/samuel-gods-boy-servant/80681/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-16","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What happened when Samuel heard a voice at night?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Samuel heard a voice calling him and thought it was Eli; after it happened three times, Eli realized God wanted to speak to Samuel.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":78,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":80,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":83},[84,87,91,95,100,105,110,115,120,123,127],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":85,"slug":86},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":88,"show_sort_weight":89,"slug":90},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":92,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":101,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":122},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":126},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":128,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":130},19,"General","general"]
