1 Samuel 1:21-23 ▼

21 When Elkanah and all his household went up to make the annual sacrifice and his vow offering to the LORD,

22 Hannah did not go and explained to her husband, “After the child is weaned, I’ll take him to appear in the LORD’s presence and to stay there permanently.”

23 Her husband, Elkanah, replied, “Do what you think is best, and stay here until you’ve weaned him. May the LORD confirm your word.” So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him.
