1 Samuel 1:21-28
Lexham English Bible
21 So the man Elkanah went up with all his household to make the annual sacrifice[a] to Yahweh and to pay his vow. 22 But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Once the boy is weaned, I will bring him, so that he may appear before Yahweh; and he will remain there forever.” 23 So her husband Elkanah said to her, “Do what seems right to you;[b] stay until you wean him. Only may Yahweh fulfill his word.” So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. 24 Then she brought him up with her when she had weaned him, along with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin[c] of wine. She brought him to the house of Yahweh at Shiloh while the boy was still young. 25 They slaughtered the bull, and they brought the boy to Eli. 26 She said, “Excuse me, my lord. As you live,[d] my lord, I am the woman who stood with you in this place to pray to Yahweh. 27 I prayed for this boy, and Yahweh has given me my request that I asked from him. 28 I in turn have lent him to Yahweh. As long as he lives[e] he is lent to Yahweh.” Then they worshiped Yahweh there.

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.
24 Now when she had weaned him, she (F)took him up with her, with [c]three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to (G)the house of the Lord in Shiloh. And the child was young. 25 Then they slaughtered a bull, and (H)brought the child to Eli. 26 And she said, “O my lord! (I)As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the Lord. 27 (J)For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. 28 Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives he shall be [d]lent to the Lord.” So they (K)worshiped the Lord there.
