1 Samuel 1

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  * 1:22 Lk 2:22 and to stay there permanently."  * 1:22 1Sm 1:11,28

23 Her husband, Elkanah, replied, "Do what you think is best,  * 1:23 Nm 30:10–11 and stay here until you’ve weaned him. May the Lord confirm your  * 1:23 DSS, LXX, Syr; MT reads his word."  * 1:23 Nm 30:13 So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him. 24 When she had weaned him, she took him with her to Shiloh, as well as a three-year-old bull,  * 1:24 DSS, LXX, Syr; MT reads Shiloh with three bulls half a bushel  * 1:24 Lit bull and an ephah of flour, and a clay jar of wine.  * 1:24 Nm 15:9–10 Though the boy was still young,  * 1:24 Lit And the youth was a youth she took him to the Lord’s house at Shiloh.  * 1:24 Jos 18:1; 1Sm 4:3–4
