And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Samuel. The opening of 1 Samuel presents Elkanah as a man who maintains a regular practice of worship at Shiloh despite the family tension caused by Hannah’s barrenness and Peninnah’s provocation. The narrative thus introduces two fundamental themes of the book: the fragility of human structures and God’s intervention in seemingly barren circumstances. Hannah’s affliction is not presented as a sign of divine abandonment, but as the context from which Samuel will emerge, a decisive figure in Israel’s transition toward monarchy.
