1 Samuel 1:20-22
World English Bible
20 When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel,[a] saying, “Because I have asked him of Yahweh.”
21 The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yahweh the yearly sacrifice and his vow. 22 But Hannah didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yahweh, and stay there forever.”
