THE STORY OF HANNAH

The story of Hannah in the Bible is an interesting one. Hannah was one of two wives of Elkanah, and they lived in the hill country of Ephraim. Elkanah’s other wife had sons and daughters and year after year his other wife would provoke Hannah because the Lord did not give her any children. Hannah’s husband did not understand why she was sad and continuously wept and would not eat. He believed that he was as valuable to her as ten sons.

Hannah could no longer bear the pain of her empty womb, she went to the temple to present her supplication to the Lord. She cried out to the Lord and wept bitterly. She was observed by the priest, Eli, who accused her of being a drunken woman. She explained that she had not had any wine nor strong drink and that instead she was deeply distressed and was praying to the Lord. Eli told her to go in peace and also asked that the Lord would grant her request.

Not long after her visit to the temple to present her request to the Lord, she was with child. When she delivered her son she called him Samuel which means “asked of God". Hannah did not forget her promise to the Lord either and as soon as Samuel was weaned she presented him to the Lord. When she arrived at the temple that same priest, Eli was there and he worshiped the Lord.
