Samuel's mother who prayed at the Tabernacle for a son is named what?

• A. Sarah
• B. Rebekah
• C. Elizabeth
• D. Hannah

Answer: (D)

Hannah is the woman who prayed at the Tabernacle for a son. She was barren and prayed earnestly at Shiloh, her lips moving while her voice was not heard. The priest Eli thought she was drunk, but she explained her deep distress and her vow to dedicate the child to the Lord if God would grant a son. God answered her prayer, and she bore Samuel, whom she later dedicated to the Lord at the tabernacle. Samuel’s birth is closely tied to Hannah’s prayer and vow, and her thanksgiving prayer in Scripture highlights God’s faithfulness. This distinguishes her from Sarah and Rebekah, who are matriarchs from earlier generations, and Elizabeth, who is John the Baptist’s mother in the New Testament. Hannah.
