1 Samuel 1:3-9

3This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.

4And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

5But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the Lord had closed her womb.

6And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb.

7So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.

8Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”

9So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the Lord.
