1 Samuel 2:18-20

English Standard Version

^18 (A)Samuel was ministering before the Lord, a boy ^(B)clothed with a linen ephod. ¹⁹ And his mother used to make for him a little robe and take it to him each year ^(C)when she went up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. ²⁰ Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, “May the Lord give you children by this woman ^(D)for the petition she asked of the Lord.” So then they would return to their home.
