18 But Shemu’ĕl was attending before יהוה — a youth, wearing a linen shoulder garment.

19 And his mother would make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she came up with her husband to slaughter the yearly slaughtering.

20 And Ěli blessed Elqanah and his wife, and said, “יהוה give you offspring from this woman for the one she prayed for and gave to יהוה.” Then they would go to their own home.
