After Samuel was weaned, Hannah brought him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh with offerings. She then left the child there with Eli, fulfilling her vow. 1 Samuel 1:24–28
After her son is weaned, Hannah brings him to Shiloh with a substantial offering and takes him to the sanctuary of Yahweh 1 Samuel 1:24. A bull is slaughtered, and Hannah meets Eli again, identifying herself as the woman he once saw praying. This passage completes the promise-and-fulfillment sequence that began with Hannah’s distress and prayer at Shiloh and Eli’s initial misunderstanding of her behavior 1 Samuel 1:9.
The passage presents a tightly connected sequence: Hannah’s earlier prayer at Shiloh is answered, and she responds by bringing the weaned child to Yahweh’s sanctuary at Shiloh with costly offerings (1 Samuel 1:24).
A careful answer keeps the immediate passage, the book's argument, and the whole-Bible storyline together, so the question is answered in context instead of as a detached idea.
Start with 1 Samuel 1:24-28, then read the surrounding section so the answer stays connected to the passage's flow.
24When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of Yahweh in Shiloh: and the child was young.
25They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
26She said, Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yahweh.
27For this child I prayed; and Yahweh has given me my petition which I asked of him:
28therefore also I have granted him to Yahweh; as long as he lives he is granted to Yahweh. He worshipped Yahweh there.
