Can a woman forget her nursing child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
She made this vow: “O Lord of hosts, if only you will look on the misery of your servant, and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a male child, then I will set him before you as a nazirite until the day of his death. He shall drink neither wine nor intoxicants, and no razor shall touch his head.”
Therefore I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord.” She left him there for the Lord.
