1 Samuel 1:21-23

New King James Version

²¹ Now the man Elkanah and all his house ^(A)went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and his vow. ²² But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will ^(B)take him, that he may appear before the Lord and ^(C)remain there ^(D)forever.”

²³ So ^(E)Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the Lord ^[a]establish ^[b]His word.” Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
