¹⁷ But the woman conceived, and she bore a son about that time ^(A)the following spring, as Elisha had said to her.

³⁶ And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her ^(A)who was called barren.

The Birth of Isaac

¹¹ By faith ^(A)Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered ^(B)him faithful who had promised.

²⁴ After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, ²⁵ “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, ^(A)to take away my reproach among people.”

¹⁹ They rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord; then they went back to their house at ^(A)Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord ^(B)remembered her. ²⁰ And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, “I have asked for him from the Lord.”^[a]
