1 Samuel 1:20-28

20It cameH1961 about 1in dueH8622 timeH3117, after HannahH2584 had conceivedH2029, that she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121; and she namedH7121H8034 him SamuelH8050, saying, “2BecauseH3588 I have askedH7592 him of the LordH3068.”

21Then the manH376 ElkanahH511 3wentH5927 up with allH3605 his householdH1004 to offerH2076 to the LordH3068 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 and pay his vowH5088. 22But HannahH2584 did not goH5927 up, for she saidH559 to her husbandH376, “I will not go up untilH5704 the childH5288 is weanedH1580; then I will 4bringH935 him, that he may appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and 5stayH3427 thereH8033 foreverH5704H5769.” 236ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 saidH559 to her, “DoH6213 whatH2896 seems bestH2896 7to you. RemainH3427 untilH5704 you have weanedH1580 him; onlyH389 8may the LordH3068 confirmH6965 His wordH1697.” So the womanH802 remainedH3427 and nursedH3243 her sonH1121 untilH5704 she weanedH1580 him. 24Now whenH3512 she had weanedH1580 him, 9she tookH5927 him up with her, with a three-year-oldH7969 bullH6499 and oneH259 ephahH374 of flourH7058 and a jugH5035 of wineH3196, and broughtH935 him to 10the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 in ShilohH7887, although the childH5288 was youngH5288. 25Then 11they slaughteredH7819 the bullH6499, and 12broughtH935 the boyH5288 to EliH5941. 26She saidH559, “OhH994, my lordH113! 13As your soulH5315 livesH2416, my lordH113, I am the womanH802 who stoodH5324 hereH2088 besideH5973 you, prayingH6419 to the LordH3068. 2714For thisH2088 boyH5288 I prayedH6419, and the LordH3068 has givenH5414 me my petitionH7596 whichH834 I askedH7592 of Him. 2815So I have alsoH1571 16dedicatedH7592 him to the LordH3068; as longH3605H3117 as he livesH1961 he is 17dedicatedH7592 to the LordH3068.” And 18he worshipedH7812 the LordH3068 thereH8033.
