1 Samuel 2:18-21 - Samuel's Life In The Tabernacle
18 But, as for Samuel, he was ministering before Yahweh, - a boy girded with an ephod of linen. 19 Also, a little robe, used his mother to make for him, and bring it up to him, from year to year, - when she came up with her husband, to offer the sacrifice of the year. 20 And Eli used to bless Elkanah and his wife, and to say - Yahweh give thee seed of this woman, instead of the loan that hath been lent unto Yahweh. So they went their way to his own place.
21 And Yahweh visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons, and two daughters. Thus did the boy Samuel grow up with Yahweh.
