1 Samuel 1:22-28

22But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will 1bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and 2stay there forever.”

23 3Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best 4to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only 5may the Lord confirm His word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.

24Now when she had weaned him, 6she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to 7the house of the Lord in Shiloh, although the child was young.

25Then 8they slaughtered the bull, and 9brought the boy to Eli.

26She said, “Oh, my lord! 10As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the Lord.

27 11For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him.

28 12So I have also 13dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is 14dedicated to the Lord.” And 15he worshiped the Lord there.
