English Standard Version Anglicised

Samuel Given to the Lord

²¹ The man Elkanah and all his house ^(A)went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and to pay his vow. ²² But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear in the presence of the Lord ^(B)and dwell there for ever.” ^23 (C)Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him; ^(D)only, may the Lord establish his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
