1 Samuel 1:20-28

20It cameH1961 aboutH1961 1in dueH8622 timeH3117, after HannahH2584 had conceivedH2029, that she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121; and she namedH7121H8034 him SamuelH8050, saying, “2BecauseH3588 I have askedH7592 for him of the LordH3068.”

21Then the manH376 ElkanahH511 3wentH5927 upH5927 with allH3605 his householdH1004 to offerH2076 to the LordH3068 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077 and to pay his vowH5088. 22But HannahH2584 did not goH5927 upH5927, for she saidH559 to her husbandH376, “I will not go untilH5704 the childH5288 is weanedH1580; then I will 4bringH935 him, so that he may appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 and 5stayH3427 thereH8033 for lifeH5769.” 236ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 saidH559 to her, “DoH6213 7whatH2896 seems bestH2896 to you. StayH3427 untilH5704 you have weanedH1580 him; onlyH389 8may the LordH3068 confirmH6965 His wordH1697.” So the womanH802 stayedH3427 and nursedH3243 her sonH1121 untilH5704 she weanedH1580 him. 24Now whenH3512 she had weanedH1580 him, 9she tookH5927 him upH5927 with her, with a three-year-oldH7969 bullH6499, 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 12slaughteredH7819 the bullH6499, and 13broughtH935 the boyH5288 to EliH5941. 26And she saidH559, “PardonH994 me, my lordH113! 14As your soulH5315 livesH2416, my lordH113, I am the womanH802 who stoodH5324 hereH2088 besideH5973 you, prayingH6419 to the LordH3068. 2715For thisH2088 boyH5288 I prayedH6419, and the LordH3068 has grantedH5414 me my requestH7596 whichH834 I askedH7592 of Him. 2816So I have alsoH1571 17dedicatedH7592 him to the LordH3068; asH3605H3117 longH3605H3117 as he livesH1961 he is 18dedicatedH7592 to the LordH3068.” And 19he worshipedH2331 the LordH3068 thereH8033.
