1 Samuel 1:22-28

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

23 3Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do 4what seems best to you. Stay until you have weaned him; only 5may the Lord confirm His word.” So the woman stayed 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, 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 9slaughtered the bull, and 10brought the boy to Eli.

26And she said, “Pardon me, my lord! 11As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the Lord.

27 12For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request which I asked of Him.

28 13So I have also 14dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is 15dedicated to the Lord.” And 16he worshiped the Lord there.
