1 Samuel 1:22-24
Modern English Version
22 But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, “I will not go up until the child is weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and live there forever.”
23 So Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good 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.
24 When she had weaned him, she took him up with her with three bulls, one ephah[a] of flour, and a bottle of wine. And she brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh, though the boy was young.
