New Testament

1 Samuel 1:19-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. They rose up in the morning early and worshipped before the Lord. And they returned and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her.

20. And it came to pass that Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel saying, “Because I have asked him of the Lord.”

21. Then the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

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.”
