1 Samuel 1:22-24 ▼

22 Hannah did not go up because she had told her husband, |As soon as the child is weaned, I'll take him to appear in the LORD's presence and remain there forever.

23 |Do what you want,| Elkanah told her. |Stay until you have weaned him, only may the LORD bring about what you've said.| So Hannah stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

24 Then, when she had weaned him, she brought him up with her to Shiloh, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. She brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh, and the boy was young.
