Read 1 Samuel 1:1 – 2:21.

1. What response does Hannah’s childlessness cause in each of the people involved: In Hannah herself? In Peninnah? In Elkanah?

2. What caused the change in Hannah recorded in 1 Samuel 1:18? Was she assured of getting what she wanted? If so, how? If not, why was she comforted?

3. When have you been profoundly disappointed? What were your prayers like at that time?

4. Describe what it might have been like for Hannah to fulfill her vow to God. What does her action tell you about her?

5. What does Hannah’s song of praise to the Lord (1 Samuel 2:1 – 10) have to do with the events of the story? What does she say about God, and why is it relevant to her life?
