Elkanah had two spouses—Penniah, who had kids, and Hannah, who was infertile. Elkanah cherished Hannah more than he adored Penniah. Every time they went to Shiloh to adore, Hannah supplicated that God would give her a child. She was eager to give that child to the administration of the Lord. God heard her petition, and Hannah brought forth a child whom she named Samuel .

Eli's Reign Ends, and God Calls Samuel Eli's own children were detestable men. As ministers, they took more than their designated parcels. They were likewise corrupt. Eli did not control them; he permitted them to proceed as clerics (3:13). Eli was informed that God was going to rebuff him. Later, amid the night, God called to the youthful Samuel, giving him the message for Eli (3:10-18). Samuel developed in support with God (3:19-21). The Philistines and Israel battled at a place called Ebenezer. Eli's children conveyed the ark of the contract to the fight; the general population celebrated (4:1-6).

After knowing about her significant other's demise, Eli's girl in-law starts giving birth and brings forth a child—Ichabod — signifying, "the transcendence of the Lord is left from Israel" (4:19-22). Subsequently, God's judgment against Eli's home is finished.

The Philistines and the Ark They convey the Ark to Ashdod and set it before the substance of their god, Dagon. The following morning, he has fallen all over. They reestablish Dagon to his place.

A torment of tumors additionally softens out up Gath, and they soon move the ark to Ekron. Tumors likewise torment Ekron. Following seven months, they choose to give back the ark, with a trespass offering, to Israel (5:11,12).

The Philistines and the Ark They put the ark, with the trespass offering, on another truck pulled by two drain dairy animals whose calves were in the slows down. In the event that the bovines come back to the calves, the torment is only adventitious to the ark's catch. In the event that they pull the truck to a close-by Israel town, the Philistines will realize that God sent the torment (6:- 1-10). The bovines pull the ark to Beth-shemesh (6:10-18).
