1Samuel:1:21-28
rsv@1Samuel:1:21 @ And the man Elka'nah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and to pay his vow.
rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."
rsv@1Samuel:1:23 @ Elka'nah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only, may the LORD establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
rsv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine; and she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh; and the child was young.
rsv@1Samuel:1:25 @ Then they slew the bull, and they brought the child to Eli.
rsv@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, "Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the LORD.
rsv@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed; and the LORD has granted me my petition which I made to him.
rsv@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he is lent to the LORD." And they worshiped the LORD there.
