Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Yahweh give you seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Yahweh. They went to their own home.
Hannah’s obedience resulted in God blessing Elkanah and Hannah even more (1 Samuel 2:20-21). Among other blessings, God gave Hannah five additional children by overcoming her barrenness and making her fertile (cf. Exodus 1:21; Psalms 127:3). Furthermore, Samuel continued to develop in a promising manner (cf. Luke 2:40; Luke 2:52).
