The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
But Hannah didn’t go up, for she said to her husband, “Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and stay there forever.”
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.
