Verse
1 Samuel - ch 1 v 21 - 28
- And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.
- But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.
- And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do whatever seems right to you, but not till you have taken him from the breast; only may the Lord do as he has said. So the woman, waiting there, gave her son milk till he was old enough to be taken from the breast.
- Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.
- And when they had made an offering of the ox, they took the child to Eli.
- And she said, O my lord, as your soul is living, my lord, I am that woman who was making a prayer to the Lord here by your side:
- My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:
- So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.
