19 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah aknew Hannah his wife, and the Lord bremembered her.  
20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name1 Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”  
21 Now the man Elkanah and all his house awent 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 atake him, that he may appear before the Lord and bremain there cforever.”  
23 So aElkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the Lord1 establish His word.” Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.  
24 Now when she had weaned him, she atook him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to bthe house of the Lord in Shiloh. And the child was young.  
25 Then they slaughtered a bull, and abrought the child to Eli.  
26 And she said, “O my lord! aAs your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the Lord.

1 Samuel 1:21

The man Elkanah and all his house - He and the whole of his family, Hannah and her child excepted, who purposed not to go up to Shiloh till her son was old enough to be employed in the Divine service.

And his vow - Probably he had also made some vow to the Lord on the occasion of his wife' s prayer and vow; in which, from his love to her. he could not be less interested than herself.
