Read and answer

Read the story first.

Hannah at ShilohEvery year Elkanah's family walked to Shiloh to pray, give thanks and share a happy feast. Hannah had no children, and she longed for a baby. One year she cried at the feast and would not eat. She went quietly to the house of God and prayed for a long time. Her lips moved, but no sound came out, and Eli the priest thought she must be unwell. Hannah told him she was only very sad and was telling God all her troubles. Eli blessed her and told her to go in peace. Hannah had a baby boy and named him Samuel. When Samuel was older, she took him to Eli and sang a song of thanks. Every year she brought him a little robe she had made herself.
