Hannah in 1 Samuel 2
HAN-uh
This person shows up in 1 Samuel 2:1: “Hannah prayed, and said: “My heart exults in Yahweh! My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
1 Samuel 2:1
“Hannah prayed, and said: “My heart exults in Yahweh! My horn is exalted in Yahweh. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.”
