1 Samuel 1:3 meaning and explanation
Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.
1 Samuel 1:3, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Elkanah is the husband of Hannah and Peninnah, and this verse sets the family's yearly rhythm. Shiloh was Israel's central sanctuary in this period, where the ark and the tabernacle stood, so going up there was ordinary faithful worship, not a special pilgrimage.
