1 Samuel 1:19-28

19And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Yhwh, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; And Yhwh remembered her. 20Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Yhwh.12 21And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto Yhwh the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 22But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yhwh, and there abide for ever. 23And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only Yhwh establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

24And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him unto the house of Yhwh in Shiloh: and the child was young. 25And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli. 26And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto Yhwh. 27For this child I prayed; And Yhwh hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 28Therefore also I have lent him to Yhwh; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to Yhwh. And he worshipped Yhwh there.34
