1 Samuel 1:22-28

22But Hannah did not go as well. She said to her husband, ‘I will not go until the boy is older. When he can eat proper food, I will take him to Shiloh to give him to the Lord. Then he will live there for all his life.’

23Elkanah said to Hannah, ‘You must do what seems right to you. Stay here at home until the boy begins to eat proper food. May the Lord help you, as he has promised.’ So Hannah stayed at home with her son while he continued to drink milk from her breasts.

24When Samuel started to eat proper food, Hannah took him to Shiloh. She took him to the Lord's house there when he was still a young boy. She took with her a bull that was three years old. She also took a big bag of flour and a leather bag full of wine.

25They killed the bull for the sacrifice. Then Hannah took Samuel to Eli.

26Hannah said to Eli, ‘Please believe me sir. I am the woman who stood here before. You saw me when I was praying to the Lord.

27I prayed that the Lord would give me a son and he answered my prayer.

28Now I will give this child to serve the Lord. He will be the Lord's servant for his whole life.’ Then Elkanah's family worshipped the Lord there.
