1 SAMUEL 1:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord.”
Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her—*vayyizkerha* (he remembered her) is the divine response to her vow. The Hebrew *zaker* (to remember) in biblical language means to act on behalf of; God's memory is active intervention.
