1 Samuel 1:4-8

4And when the dayH3117 came that ElkanahH511 sacrificedH2076, he gaveH5414 to PeninnahH6444 his wifeH802, and to all her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, portionsH4490: 5but unto HannahH2584 he gaveH5414 a double portionH4490; for he lovedH157 HannahH2584, but Jehovah had shutH5462 up her wombH7358. 6And her rival provokedH3707 her sore, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shutH5462 up her wombH7358. 7And as he did soH3651 yearH8141 by yearH8141, when she wentH5927 up to the houseH1004 of Jehovah, so she provokedH3707 her; thereforeH3651 she weptH1058, and did not eatH398. 8And ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 saidH559 unto her, HannahH2584, whyH4100 weepest thou? and whyH4100 eatest thou not? and whyH4100 is thy heartH3824 grieved? am not I betterH2896 to thee than tenH6235 sonsH1121?
