jps - 1Samuel:1:21-28

jps@1Samuel:1:21 @ And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

jps@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband: 'Until the child be weaned, when I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.'

jps@1Samuel:1:23 @ And Elkanah her husband said unto her: 'Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish His word.' So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.

jps@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh; and the child was young.

jps@1Samuel:1:25 @ And when the bullock was slain, the child was brought to Eli.

jps@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said: 'Oh, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

jps@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath granted me my petition which I asked of Him;

jps@1Samuel:1:28 @ therefore I also have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he is lent to the LORD.' And he worshipped the LORD there.
