(20) And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. (21) And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
How much those gain, who give unto the Lord! Solomon's observation is well founded; He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord: and look what he hath given, he will pay him again. Proverbs 19:17.
