1 Samuel 1:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ Elkanah, Hannah’s husband, said to her, “Do what you think is best. ·You may stay home until the boy is old enough to eat [Stay until you have weaned him]. May the Lord ·do what you have said [bring about his promise; ^Lconfirm/establish his word].” So Hannah stayed at home to nurse her son until he was ·old enough to eat [weaned].

²⁴ When Samuel was ·old enough to eat [weaned], [^Lthough still very young,] Hannah took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh [1:3], along with a three-year-old bull, ·one-half bushel [^Lan ephah] of flour, and a ·leather bag filled with [skin of] wine. ²⁵ After they had ·killed the bull for the sacrifice [^Lslaughtered the bull], they brought Samuel to Eli.
