A Summary provided by Rabbi Jack Abramowitz of the Orthodox Union:
There was a man named Elkanah, who was Levite from Mt. Ephraim. Elkanah had two wives; Hannah had no children, but Penina did. When Elkanah would bring a sacrifice, he would always give Hannah an extra portion, but it was small consolation. Peninah would make snide comments that only made Hannah feel worse. 

Hannah was at the Mishkan (Tabernacle) in Shiloh and she prayed to Hashem from the pain in her soul. She said that if Hashem gave her a son, he would be dedicated to Hashem all his life as a Nazir. Eli, the Kohen Gadol saw Hannah praying. She was crying and moving her lips, but not making any sounds, so he thought she was drunk. Hannah disabused him of this notion, so he blessed her that G-d should grant her prayer. 

Soon after, Hannah conceived and had a son, whom they named Shemuel, meaning “requested from G-d.” When the child was weaned, she brought him to the Tabernacle in Shiloh and reminded Eli of what had transpired, as well as that the child was dedicated to the service of G-d.
