1 Samuel 1:4-8

4And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 5But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: But Yhwh had shut up her womb.1 6And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because Yhwh had shut up her womb.2 7And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yhwh, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.3 8Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
