I prayed for this child, and the Lord granted to me my petition, which I asked of Him. (1Sm 1:27)
אֶל־הַנַּ֥עַר הַזֶּ֖ה הִתְפַּלָּ֑לְתִּי וַיִּתֵּ֨ן יְהוָ֥ה לִי֙ אֶת־שְׁאֵ֣לָתִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁאַ֖לְתִּי מֵעִמֹּֽו
Pro puero isto oravi, et dedit mihi Dominus petitionem meam, quam postulavi eum.
Hannah begged for what God wanted to give her. God is the Lover of life, and petitions that concern life are under His special attention. When you ask, you receive more than your measure. Hannah gave birth to a son, but she gave him to God. After the length of time she had waited, she knew this baby was a gift from God. God granted her petition. The name Samuel directly indicates this.
