Hannah Dedicates Samuel to the Lord

Hannah Dedicates Samuel to the Lord

21This man Elkanah went up with all his family to make the yearly sacrifice to the Lord and to keep his vow, 22but Hannah did not go up with them. Instead she told her husband, “Once the boy is weaned, I will bring him and appear before the Lord, and he will remain there from then on.”

23So her husband Elkanah said to her, “Do what you think best. Stay until you have weaned him. May the Lord fulfill his promise.”

So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him. 24Once she had weaned him, she took him up with her, along with three bulls, an ephah of flour, and a container of wine. She brought him to the Lord’s house at Shiloh, even though he was young. 25Once the bull had been slaughtered, they brought the boy to Eli. 26She said, “Just as surely as you are alive, my lord, I am the woman who previously stood here with you in order to pray to the Lord. 27I prayed for this boy, and the Lord has given me the request that I asked of him. 28Now I dedicate him to the Lord. From this time on he is dedicated to the Lord.” Then they worshiped the Lord there.

2Hannah prayed,

“My heart rejoices in the Lord;

my horn is exalted high because of the Lord.

I loudly denounce my enemies,

for I am happy that you delivered me.

2No one is holy like the Lord!

There is no one other than you!

There is no rock like our God!

3Don’t keep speaking so arrogantly,

letting proud talk come out of your mouth!

For the Lord is a God who knows;

he evaluates what people do.

4The bows of warriors are shattered,

but those who stumble find their strength reinforced.

5Those who are well-fed hire themselves out to earn food,

but the hungry no longer lack.

Even the barren woman gives birth to seven,

but the one with many children withers away.

6The Lord both kills and gives life;

he brings down to the grave and raises up.

7The Lord impoverishes and makes wealthy;

he humbles and he exalts.

8He lifts the weak from the dust;

he raises the poor from the ash heap

to seat them with princes

and to bestow on them an honored position.

The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord,

and he has placed the world on them.

9He watches over his holy ones,

but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness,

for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.

10The Lord shatters his adversaries;

he thunders against them from the heavens.

The Lord executes judgment to the ends of the earth.

He will strengthen his king

and exalt the power of his anointed one.”

11Then Elkanah went back home to Ramah. But the boy was serving the Lord under the supervision of Eli the priest.
