Genesis 29:31-33

31When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he enabled her to become pregnant while Rachel remained childless.

32So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now.”

33She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, “Because the Lord heard that I was unloved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.
