There was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham son of Elihu son of Tohu son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord; then they went back to their house at Ramah. Elkanah knew his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her.
Therefore I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord.” She left him there for the Lord.
Samuel was ministering before the Lord, a boy wearing a linen ephod.
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.
Samuel lay there until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord. Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
Then he would come back to Ramah, for his home was there; he administered justice there to Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.
