1 Samuel 1:21-28 - Samuel Given To The Lord

21 And the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up. For she said to her husband, Until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him so that he may appear before Jehovah and stay there forever.

23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to you. Stay until you have weaned him. Only may Jehovah establish His Word. So the woman stayed and gave her son suck until she weaned him. 24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah in Shiloh. And the child was young. 25 And they killed a bull, and brought the child to Eli.

26 And she said, O, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Jehovah. 27 For this boy I was praying, and Jehovah has given me my petition which I asked of Him. 28 And I have returned him to Jehovah. As long as he lives, he shall be given to Jehovah. And he worshiped Jehovah there.
