1 Samuel 1:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ “Oh, thank you, sir!” she exclaimed, and went happily back, and began to take her meals again.

^19-20 The entire family was up early the next morning and went to the Tabernacle to worship the Lord once more. Then they returned home to Ramah, and when Elkanah slept with Hannah, the Lord remembered her petition; in the process of time, a baby boy was born to her. She named him Samuel (meaning “asked of God”)^[a] because, as she said, “I asked the Lord for him.”
