| After chana had given birth to a son and named him samuel she would not go up the Shilo with Elkanah and the rest of his family. Samuel A A:22 In stead she went to Shilo with Samuel later in the story. |
|
 | Chana, come up to Shilo with me and the whole family | |
|
| I'm sorry but I am not going up to Shilo until I have weaned Samuel because when he goes to Shilo he is never coming back. | |
|

|
|
| When Chana goes up to Shilo with Samuel she prays to god again, but this time she prays that Samuel will be safe in the hands of god. Samuel A A: 26 |
|
| Please god let my son be safe, and that the rest of his life is healthy and happy. | |

|
| All of these examples show how Chana has become more and more of a leader. For example in box #4 Chana does not do what Elkanah tells her to do, and that is a big change in her behavior from the beginning of the story. |
