20 Within a year* Hanʹnah became pregnant and gave birth to a son and named+ him Samuel,* because, as she said, “it is from Jehovah that I have asked him.”

18 Now Samuel was ministering+ before Jehovah, wearing* a linen ephʹod,+ though he was just a boy.

20 All Israel from Dan to Beʹer-sheʹba became aware that Samuel had been confirmed as Jehovah’s prophet.
