Berean Standard Bible
1 Samuel 1:22-24
22but Hannah did not go. “After the boy is weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”1
23“Do what you think is best,” her husband Elkanah replied, “and stay here until you have weaned him. Only may the LORD confirm His word.”2
So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
24Once she had weaned him, Hannah took the boy with her, along with a three-year-old bull,3 an ephah of flour,4 and a skin of wine. Though the boy was still young, she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
