ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

1 Samuel 1

In the Bible, there is a story in 1 Samuel 1 about a woman named Hannah who wanted to have a baby very badly. But she was sad because for many years, she had been unable to have a baby. She prayed to God, asking Him to help her have a child.

One day, she went to the temple to pray and started crying. A priest named Eli saw her crying and thought she was drunk. But Hannah told Eli that she was sad and praying to God for a baby. Eli blessed her and said that God would give her a child.

Hannah eventually did have a baby boy named Samuel. She was so grateful to God that she brought Samuel back to the temple to live there and be raised by Eli. Samuel grew up to be a great prophet and judge in Israel, and Hannah continued to praise God for giving her a son.

So, to sum it up, 1 Samuel 1 is a story about a woman named Hannah who prayed to God for a baby, and God answered her prayer by giving her a son named Samuel who would go on to become an important leader in Israel.
