1 Samuel 1:21-23

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²¹ When Elkanah and all his household went up to make the annual sacrifice^(A) and his vow offering to the Lord, ²² Hannah did not go and explained to her husband, ‘After the child is weaned, I’ll take him to appear in the Lord’s presence^(B) and to stay there permanently.’^(C)

²³ Her husband, Elkanah, replied, ‘Do what you think is best,^(D) and stay here until you’ve weaned him. May the Lord confirm your^[a] word.’^(E) So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him.
