23 “You know what’s best,” Elkanah said. “Stay here until it’s time to stop nursing him. I’m sure the LORD will help you do what you have promised.” [8] Hannah did not go to Shiloh until she stopped nursing Samuel.

24 [24-25] When it was the time of year to go to Shiloh again, Hannah and Elkanah [9] took Samuel to the LORD’s house. They brought along a three-year-old bull, [10] a twenty-pound sack of flour, and a clay jar full of wine. Hannah and Elkanah offered the bull as a sacrifice, then brought the little boy to Eli.
