Who were Samuel's parents?

Samuel's parents are Elkanah and Hannah. Hannah had prayed earnestly for a child and vowed to dedicate him to the Lord, and God answered her prayer by granting Samuel. She brought him to the tabernacle at Shiloh after he was weaned, where he served under the priest Eli. This family background sets Samuel up as a notable prophet and leader in Israel. The other names refer to different people: Aaron and Elisheba are from a priestly line unrelated to Samuel; Hophni and Phinehas are Eli's sons, not Samuel's parents.
