5 but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb. 8 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t you eat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
11 She vowed a vow, and said, "LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head."
23 Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems good to you. Wait until you have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word."
So the woman waited and nursed her son until she weaned him. 27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him. 28 Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD." He worshiped the LORD there.
