22. But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and there abide for ever.
23. And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the Lord establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.
24. And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the Lord in Shiloh: and the child was young.
25. And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
26. And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord.
27. For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
28. wherefore I also have granted him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he is granted to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there.
