Hannah deeply loved her husband, but was childless. This weighed so terribly upon her, that she could not eat and was visibly distraught.

Eventually she went to her place of worship where “she was deeply distressed and prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly.” (1 Sam. 1:10) In her desperate prayer for a baby boy she cried out to God and made a promise. If He would provide her a child Hannah stated, “I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life.” (1 Sam. 1:11).
