Context — The Birth of Samuel
24Once she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
25And when they had slaughtered the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.
26“Please, my lord,” said Hannah, “as surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD.
27I prayed for this boy, and since the LORD has granted me what I asked of Him, 28I now dedicate the boy to the LORD. For as long as he lives, he is dedicated to the LORD.” So they worshiped the LORD there.Cross References

1 Samuel 1:26 Summary
[Hannah is reminding Eli of her previous prayer, where she asked God for a son, and now she is fulfilling her promise to dedicate him to the Lord, just like she vowed in 1 Samuel 1:11. This shows her trust in God's faithfulness and her commitment to keeping her promises. As seen in Psalm 119:106, Hannah is taking a significant step of faith, demonstrating her love and devotion to God. By dedicating her son to the Lord, Hannah is teaching us the importance of trusting in God's sovereignty and keeping our promises, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 23:21-23.]

How does Hannah's statement in 1 Samuel 1:26 relate to her overall story in 1 Samuel?
Hannah's statement in 1 Samuel 1:26 is a pivotal moment in her story, as it marks the fulfillment of her vow to dedicate her son to the Lord, as seen in 1 Samuel 1:11, and demonstrates her trust in God's faithfulness, as emphasized in Psalm 138:8.

Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 1:26
And she said, O my lord,.... According to the Targum, it is a supplication or request, I beseech thee, my lord; that is, to look upon her son, and take him under his care as his disciple or scholar,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 1:26
And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:26
Oh my lord; a form of speech to engage favourable attention. As thy soul liveth; the usual form of an oath, as 20:3; as surely as thou livest: which asseverations seem necessary, because this was some years after it, and was quite forgotten by him.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:26
1 Samuel 1:26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.Ver. 26. As thy soul liveth.] As sure as thou art alive. Her heart was full, her tongue fluent, in mentioning God’ s mercy.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:26
(26) O my lord, as thy soul liveth.—“This oath is peculiar to the Books of Samuel, in which it occurs six times, and to the Books of Kings, in which, however, it is found only once. The similar oath, as Pharaoh liveth (by the life of Pharaoh), occurs in Genesis 42:15; and as the Lord liveth is found almost exclusively in the books of which Judges is the first and 2 Kings the last, being especially frequent in the Books of Samuel. This accords with the fact of the age of the Judges and Saul being characteristically the age of vows.”—Speaker’s Commentary.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:26
Verse 26. As thy soul liveth] As sure as thou art a living soul, so surely am I the person who stood by thee here praying.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 1:26
26. as thy soul liveth] An oath peculiar to the books of Samuel and Kings. that stood by thee] Prayer was offered either (a) standing, as by Hannah and Abraham (Genesis 18:22), cp. Matthew 6:5, Mark 11:25, Luke 18:11 : (b) kneeling, as by Solomon (1 Kings 8:54), and by Daniel (Daniel 6:10), cp. Acts 9:40; Acts 20:36; Acts 21:5 : (c) prostrate, as by Moses and Aaron (Numbers 16:22), and by our Lord (Matthew 26:39).
Barnes' Notes on 1 Samuel 1:26
As thy soul liveth - This oath is unique to the Books of Samuel, in which it occurs six times, and to the Books of Kings, in which however, it is found only once. See the note to 1 Samuel 1:11.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:26
26. As thy soul liveth — A form of oath peculiar to the books of Samuel. The age of the judges was noticeably an age of vows. I am the woman — Eli had, perhaps, forgotten her, but she had kept his words in her heart.
