1 Samuel 1:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ Then the man Elkanah ^(A)went up with all his household to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow. ²² But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will ^(B)bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and ^(C)stay there forever.” ^23 (D)Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best ^[a]to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only ^(E)may the Lord confirm His word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.
