1 Samuel 1:22-28

22Hannah did not go and explained to her husband, “After the child is weaned, I’ll take him to appear in the Lord’s presence and to stay there permanently.”

23Her husband, Elkanah, replied, “Do what you think is best, and stay here until you’ve weaned him. May the Lord confirm your word.” So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him.

24When she had weaned him, she took him with her to Shiloh, as well as a three-year-old bull, half a bushel of flour, and a clay jar of wine. Though the boy was still young, she took him to the Lord’s house at Shiloh.

25Then they slaughtered the bull and brought the boy to Eli.

26“Please, my lord,” she said, “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 gave me what I asked him for,

28I now give the boy to the Lord. For as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord.” Then he worshiped the Lord there.
