The shame, humiliation and suffering of being barren led Hannah to make a vow with the Lord: And she vowed a vow and said: "O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your servant and remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head." 1 Samuel 1:11
A child was her biggest dream for so long and although she had to lose him for Divine purposes, she wanted to get rid of her longing pain. God saw, heard and answered her cry. Samuel was born and brought as a newborn to serve in the Temple. Such an attitude of faith taught her the way to conquer with God. Samuel became one of the greatest Prophets in Israel and Hannah, she had other sons.
The wise woman honours and is honoured by God.
