1 Samuel 1:22-28
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.”1
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.”2
So HannahH802 stayedH3427 and nursedH3243 her sonH1121 untilH5704 she had weanedH1580 himH853.
24OnceH834 she had weaned himH1580, Hannah tookH5927 the boy with herH5973, along with a three-year-oldH7969 bullH6499,3 an ephahH374H259 of flourH7058,4 and a skinH5035 of wineH3196. Though the boyH5288 was still youngH5288, she brought himH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at ShilohH7887. 25And when they had slaughteredH7819 the bullH6499, they broughtH935 the boyH5288 toH413 EliH5941.
26“PleaseH994, my lordH113,” saidH559 Hannah, “as surely as youH5315 liveH2416, my lordH113, IH589 am the womanH802 who stoodH5324 hereH2088 besideH5973 you prayingH6419 toH413 the LORDH3068. 27I prayedH6419 forH413 thisH2088 boyH5288, and since the LORDH3068 has grantedH5414 me whatH834 I askedH7592 of HimH5973, 28IH595 nowH1571 dedicate the boyH7592 to the LORDH3068. For asH3605H3117 long as he livesH1961, heH1931 is dedicatedH7592 to the LORDH3068.”
