NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ So it was that she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel. She explained: »I asked Jehovah for him.« ²¹ The time came again for Elkanah and his family to go to Shiloh and offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and the special sacrifice he promised. ²² This time Hannah did not go. She told her husband: As soon as the child is weaned, I will take him to the Temple of Jehovah, where he will stay all his life. ²³ Elkanah answered: »All right, do what seems best to you. Stay at home until you have weaned him. May Jehovah make your promise come true.« So Hannah stayed at home and nursed her child.
