Bible Verses About Eli: Officiates when Samuel is presented at the tabernacle

and she causeth him to go up with her when she hath weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she bringeth him into the house of Jehovah at Shiloh, and the youth is but a youth.

And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth unto Eli,

and she saith, `O, my lord, thy soul liveth! my lord, I am the woman who stood with thee in this place , to pray unto Jehovah;

for this youth I prayed, and Jehovah doth give to me my petition which I asked of Him;

and also I have caused him to be asked for Jehovah, all the days that he hath lived--he is asked for Jehovah;' and he boweth himself there before Jehovah.
