May the Lord confirm your[a] word.”(D) So Hannah stayed there and nursed her son until she weaned him. 24 When she had weaned him, she took him with her to Shiloh, as well as a three-year-old bull,[b] half a bushel[c] of flour, and a clay jar of wine.(E) Though the boy was still young,[d] she took him to the Lord’s house at Shiloh.(F)
