At this time God didn’t communicate with people anymore especially through visions (it’s quite rare). At night, while asleep, Samuel hears someone calling him. So he goes to Eli, thinking that it is he who calls him. It happens three times but Samuel hasn’t been in touch with God till now. Eli realizes it is God who speaks to Samuel. He tells Samuel to answer God and listen to him. And God tells Samuel to tell Eli that he is going to destroy his family because he didn’t do anything against his sons. And Samuel keeps growing with God’s favor.

When I think about Samuel I can’t avoid thinking of his two sons. When he was brought to the temple he was in contact with Eli’s sons who were priests serving at the temple. But they were badly. But it did not prevent Samuel to become God’s faithful servant. We can imagine that as High Priest Samuel was busy at God’s service. Unfortunately, we don’t know how he raised his children and what he did to educate them. And in fact, it’s the same for God’s faithful servants. We know that God educated them through hard life: Moses and David went to the wilderness and they were trained so.

Samuel was a man chosen for God, from his miraculous birth until his death. He served in several important positions during his life, earning God's favor because he knew how to obey.
Samuel was a contemporary of King Saul and King David. His parents Elkanah and Hannah dedicated him to the Lord, giving the child to the priest Eli to be raised in the temple. In Acts 3:20 Samuel is portrayed as the last of the judges and the first of the prophets. Few people in the Bible were as obedient to God as Samuel.
Lessons From Samuel's Life
Obedience and respect are the best ways we can show God we love him. While the people of his time were destroyed by their own selfishness, Samuel stood out as a man of honor. Like Samuel, we can avoid the corruption of this world if we place God first in our life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazirite
In the Hebrew Bible, a nazirite or a nazarite (Hebrew: נזיר) is one who voluntarily took a vow which is described in Numbers 6:1–21. "Nazarite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated".Those who put themselves under a Nazirite vow do so by adding unto themselves a degree of sanctity, as it says: "Until the time is completed, etc., he shall be holy." A person who puts himself under a Nazirite vow without designating how long he intends to remain as such, he is obligated in all that pertains to Nazirite strictures for a period of thirty days. This vow required the person to observe the following strictures:
The nazirite is described as being "holy unto God", yet at the same time, he or she must bring a sin offering. This has led to divergent approaches to the nazirite in the Talmud, and later authorities, with some viewing the nazirite as an ideal, and others viewing the Nazirite as a sinner.

- Refrain from cutting the hair on one's head; but to allow the locks of the head's hair to grow.
- Not to become ritually impure by contact with corpses or graves, even those of family members.

Hannah asks Eli not to count thine handmaid for a daughter of whom? (I Samuel 1:16)
For a worthless woman. It is strange to think that Elkanah thinks that his wife drinks alcohol and that she is drunk when she is not. Does he really know his wife ? Had he ever find her drunk ? If not it is a strange way to judge by appearances especially when it is someone of your family or someone you are supposed to know well !
