Hannah Presents Samuel to the Lord

1 Samuel 1:21-28

1
Chapter 1
21 And the man Elkanah went up with all his household to sacrifice to the LORD the sacrifice of the days and his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "Wait until the boy is weaned; then I will bring him, and he will appear before the LORD. Then he stayed there before the LORD." 23 And Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good in your eyes. Stay until you wean him; only may the LORD establish his word." So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she weaned him. 24 And when she had weaned him, she brought him up with her, with three bulls and one ephah of flour and a skin of wine. And she brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh, and the boy was young. 25 And they slaughtered the sacrificial bull and brought the boy to Eli. 26 And she said, "As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here with you to pray to the LORD." 27 For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has granted my request which I asked of him. 28 I also have dedicated him to the LORD all the days he lives. He is dedicated to the LORD. And he prostrated himself there before the LORD.
