After receiving the child for which she had prayed so desperately, Samuel's mother, Hannah, returned God's gift by allowing Samuel to be raised as a priest at the tabernacle. In fulfillment of her vow to God, she dedicated Samuel to the Lord and ensured that he would grow up serving in the temple. This decision is described in 1 Samuel 1:24-28, where she brings Samuel to the house of the Lord in Shiloh and presents him to Eli the priest, expressing her commitment to her promise to God.
