1 Samuel 1:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ So it was that she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel,^[a] and explained, “I asked the Lord for him.”

²¹ The time came again for Elkanah and his family to go to Shiloh and offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and the special sacrifice he had promised. ²² But this time Hannah did not go. She told her husband, “As soon as the child is weaned, I will take him to the house of the Lord, where he will stay all his life.”
