1 Samuel 1:1-9

1Now thereH8033 was a manH376 from 1Ramathaim-zophimH7436 from the 2hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, and his nameH8034 was 3ElkanahH511 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, the sonH1121 of ElihuH453, the sonH1121 of TohuH8459, the sonH1121 of ZuphH6689, an EphraimiteH673. 2And he had 4twoH8147 wivesH802: the nameH8034 of oneH259 was 5HannahH2584 and the nameH8034 of the 6otherH8145 PeninnahH6444; and PeninnahH6444 hadH1961 childrenH3206, but HannahH2584 hadH369 noH369 childrenH3206.

3Now thisH1931 manH376 would goH5927 upH5927 from his cityH5892 7yearlyH3117 8to worshipH2331 and to sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 in 9ShilohH7887. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were priestsH3548 to the LordH3068 thereH8033. 4When the dayH3117 cameH1961 that ElkanahH511 sacrificedH2076, he 10would giveH5414 portionsH4490 to his wifeH802 PeninnahH6444 and to allH3605 her sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323; 5but to HannahH2584 he would giveH5414 a doubleH639 portionH4490, becauseH3588 he lovedH157 HannahH2584, 11but the LordH3068 had closedH5462 her wombH7358. 6Her rivalH6869, moreover, 12would provokeH3707 her bitterlyH1571H3708 to irritateH7481 her, becauseH3588 the LordH3068 had closedH5462H1157 her wombH7358. 7And it happenedH6213 yearH8141 after yearH8141, as oftenH1767 as she wentH5927 upH5927 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, that she would provokeH3707 her; so she weptH1058 and would not eatH398. 8Then ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 would sayH559 to her, “HannahH2584, whyH4100 do you weepH1058, and whyH4100 do you not eatH398, and whyH4100 isH7489 your heartH3824 sadH7489? 13Am I not betterH2896 to you thanH4480 tenH6235 sonsH1121?”

9Then HannahH2584 gotH6965 upH6965 afterH310 eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 in ShilohH7887. Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 was sittingH3427 on the seatH3678 by the doorpostH4201 of 14the 15templeH1964 of the LordH3068.
