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.
27 aFor this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.
