Samuel’s Life in the Tabernacle
18 Now Samuel was serving before Yahweh, as a boy wearing a linen ephod. 19 His mother used to make for him a small robe and take it to him year by year[a] whenever she came up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.[b] 20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and he said, “May Yahweh give you an offspring from this woman in place of the petitioned one that she requested from Yahweh.” Then they went to their home.

New International Version
18 But Samuel was ministering(A) before the Lord—a boy wearing a linen ephod.(B) 19 Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual(C) sacrifice. 20 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the Lord give you children by this woman to take the place of the one she prayed(D) for and gave to[a] the Lord.” Then they would go home.
