1 Samuel 1:27

27 I asked the LORD to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.

1 Samuel 1:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 1:27

For this child I prayed
Which she now had in her hand, and was presenting to Eli:

and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him;
and which he also desired might be granted her, or foretold that it would be, ( 1 Samuel 1:17 ) though perhaps he knew not then particularly what it was she asked; nor did she acquaint him with it at parting, as she now did, having obtained of the Lord what she was so solicitous for, and now makes mention of with thankfulness.

1 Samuel 1:27 In-Context

26 “Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked. “I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the LORD .
27 I asked the LORD to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.
28 Now I am giving him to the LORD, and he will belong to the LORD his whole life.” And they worshiped the LORD there.
