1 Samuel 1:19-23

19The next morningH1242 they got up earlyH7925 to bow in worshipH7812 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and then they returnedH7725H935H413 homeH1004 to RamahH7414.

And ElkanahH511 had relations withH3045 his wifeH802 HannahH2584, and the LORDH3068 remembered herH2142. 20SoH1961 in the courseH8622 of timeH3117, HannahH2584 conceivedH2029 and gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121. She namedH7121 himH8034 SamuelH8050,1 saying, “BecauseH3588 I have asked for himH7592 from the LORDH3068.”

21Then ElkanahH511 and allH3605 his houseH1004 went upH5927H376 to makeH2076 the annualH3117 sacrificeH2077 to the LORDH3068 andH853 to fulfill his vowH5088, 22but HannahH2584 did notH3808 goH5927. “AfterH5704 the boyH5288 is weanedH1580,” she saidH559 to her husbandH376, “I will take himH935 to appearH7200H854 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 and to stayH3427 thereH8033 permanentlyH5704H5769.”2

23“DoH6213 what you thinkH5869 is bestH2896,” her husbandH376 ElkanahH511 repliedH559, “and stayH3427 here untilH5704 you have weaned himH1580. OnlyH389 may the LORDH3068 confirmH6965 His wordH1697.”3

So HannahH802 stayedH3427 and nursedH3243 her sonH1121 untilH5704 she had weanedH1580 himH853.
