Verse 26 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Samuel. Samuel appears serving before the Lord while Hannah continues visiting him and bringing him a small priestly robe. The child’s growth is progressively contrasted with the corruption of Eli’s sons. This literary structure presents Samuel as a figure of faithfulness within a deteriorating priestly household. Eli’s rebuke of his sons also shows that the problem is known, but his authority is insufficient to stop it. The chapter ends by emphasizing that Samuel grew favorably before God and people.
