“Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.”
1 Samuel 2:19 (BSB)
Context Reading
17Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt. 18Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD — a boy wearing a linen ephod. 19Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice. 20And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home. 21So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
