If you give me a son, I promise that I will give him to you so he can serve you all his life.’ The reason is that she could not have a baby, and she wanted one very, very much. It was just a few years before this that Hanʹnah was very sad. kaʹnah and Hanʹnah give someone so young as Samuel to serve Jehovah at the tabernacle?
