You Know My Lord as Your Soul Lives
Kana is a woman of low social standing and she's the one being exalted in the narrative as this model of faith and devotion to Yahweh. She doesn't go up to the annual sacrifice because she spends the first couple of years just with her baby nursing and caring for her baby. But then when he gets old enough when she's weaned, she brings him up and they offer a bowl as a sacrifice. They bring the boy and Kana sees Eli sitting there and she says oh you know my Lord as your soul lives I'm the woman who stood here years ago. Remember me praying. You thought I was drunk. Shmuel listens because I have asked. Yeah.
