Jehovah answered Han'nah's prayer, and months later she gave birth to Samuel.  Han'nah loved her little boy, and she began teaching him about Jehovah when he was still very little.  She told her husband:  'As soon as Samuel is old enough so he does not need to be nursed anymore, I will take him to the tabernacle to serve Jehovah there.'

 Han'nah and El-ka'nah are taking him to the tabernacle, and because Samuel has been taught so well by his parents, he is glad to be able to serve Jehovah here at Jehovah's tent. Each year Han'nah and El-ka'nah come to worship at this special tent, and to visit their little boy. And each year Han'nah brings a new sleeveless coat that she had made for Samuel. 

As the years go b y, Samuel keep serving at Jehovah's tabernacle, and both Jehovah and the people like him. But high priest E'li's sons Hoph'ni and Phin'e-has are no good.  They do many bad things, and get others to disobey Jehovah too. E'li should remove them from being priests, but he does not.
