1 Samuel 1:5-10
5But to HannahH2584 he would giveH5414 aH259 doubleH639 portionH4490,1 forH3588 he lovedH157 herH2584 even though the LORDH3068 had closedH5462 her wombH7358.
6BecauseH3588 the LORDH3068 had closedH5462 Hannah’s wombH1157H7358, her rivalH6869H1571 would provoke herH7481 viciouslyH3708 to taunt herH3707. 7And this went onH3651H6213 yearH8141 after yearH8141. WheneverH1767 Hannah went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, her rival taunted herH3707 until she weptH1058 and would notH3808 eatH398.
8“HannahH2584, whyH4100 are you cryingH1058?” her husbandH376 ElkanahH511 askedH559. “WhyH4100 won’t youH3808 eatH398? WhyH4100 is your heartH3824 so grievedH3415? Am IH595 notH3808 betterH2896 to you than tenH6235 sonsH1121?”
9So afterH310 they had finished eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 in ShilohH7887, HannahH2584 stood upH6965H310. Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 was sittingH3427 onH5921 a chairH3678 byH5921 the doorpostH4201 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068.
In her bitter distressH4751H5315, Hannah prayedH6419 toH5921 the LORDH3068 and wept with many tearsH1058.
