A woman named Hannah wanted a baby so much. She was very sad and cried a lot.
She went to God's house and prayed with all her heart. “God, please give me a son, and I will give him back to serve you.”
God heard Hannah's prayer! She had a baby boy and named him Samuel. When he was older, she brought him to God's house to serve, just like she promised.
