Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Samuel 1:22

But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.Weaned — Not only from the breast, but also from the mother's knee and care, and from childish food; 'till the child be something grown up, and fit to do some service in the tabernacle: for it seems that as soon as he was brought up he worshipped God, verse28, and presently after ministered to Eli, chap2:11. read more

And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.Three bullocks — One for a burnt-offering, the second for a sin-offering, and the third for a peace offering; all these sorts being expedient for this work and time.Flour — For the meal-offerings belonging to the principal sacrifices, which to each bullock were three tenth-deals, or three tenth... read more

22. Until the child be weaned Which in some cases was at the age of three years, ( 2Ma 7:27 ,) and so quite likely in the case of Samuel. Abide for ever That is, as long as he shall live. Compare 1 Samuel 1:11. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:23

23. Only the Lord establish his word What word Elkanah here refers to is not clear. Some, taking דבר , word, in the sense of matter or thing, a meaning which it sometimes has, paraphrase the sentence thus: The Lord carry out and perfect what he has begun in the case of this child. Others suppose that reference is made to some special revelation concerning the mission and destiny of Samuel, which the sacred writers have not recorded. But it is better to understand by his word, the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 1:24

24. Three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine See the law of meat offerings. Numbers 15:1-13. Several ancient versions read, instead of three bullocks, a bullock three years old; but this is probably an error, for, according to Numbers 15:9, a single bullock required with it but three tenths of an ephah of flour, while Hannah took a whole ephah, enough for three offerings. The child was young Probably three or four years old. Compare 1 Samuel 1:22, and 1 Samuel 2:18. read more
