1 Samuel 1:3-9

3And thisH1931 manH376 went upH5927 out of his cityH5892 yearlyH3117 to worshipH7812 and to sacrificeH2076 unto YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 in ShilohH7887. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, the priestsH3548 of YhwhH3068, were there.1

4And when the timeH3117 was that ElkanahH511 offeredH2076, he gaveH5414 to PeninnahH6444 his wifeH802, and to all her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, portionsH4490: 5But unto HannahH2584 he gaveH5414 aH259 worthyH639 portionH4490; for he lovedH157 HannahH2584: But YhwhH3068 had shut upH5462 her wombH7358.2 6And her adversaryH6869 also provokedH3707 her soreH3708, for to make her fretH7481, because YhwhH3068 had shutH5462 upH1157 her wombH7358.3 7And as he didH6213 so yearH8141 by yearH8141, whenH1767 she went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, so she provokedH3707 her; therefore she weptH1058, and did not eatH398.4 8Then saidH559 ElkanahH511 her husbandH376 to her, HannahH2584, why weepestH1058 thou? and why eatestH398 thou not? and why is thy heartH3824 grievedH3415? am not I betterH2896 to thee than tenH6235 sonsH1121?

9So HannahH2584 rose upH6965 afterH310 they had eatenH398 in ShilohH7887, and afterH310 they had drunkH8354. Now EliH5941 the priestH3548 satH3427 upon a seatH3678 by a postH4201 of the templeH1964 of YhwhH3068.
