1 Samuel 1:23 In-Context

21 So the man Elkanah went up with all his household {to make the annual sacrifice} 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}; 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 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.
