1 Samuel 1:24-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

24. When the boy didn't need her to nurse him anymore, she took him with her to Shiloh. She took him there even though he was still very young. She brought him to the Lord's house. She brought along a bull that was three years old. She brought more than half a bushel of flour. She also brought a bottle of wine. The bottle was made out of animal skin.

25. After the bull was killed, Elkanah and Hannah brought the boy to Eli.

26. Hannah said to Eli, "Sir, I'm the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. And that's just as sure as you are alive.

27. I prayed for this child. The Lord has given me what I asked him for.
