1 Samuel 1:5-8

EJ2000(i) 5 But unto Hannah he would give a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah, even though the LORD had shut up her womb. 6 And her rival provoked her to anger and sorrow because the LORD had shut up her womb. 7 And this would happen year by year when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she would provoke her; therefore, she would weep and not eat. 8 Then Elkanah, her husband, said to her, Hannah, why dost thou weep? And why dost thou not eat? And why is thy heart grieved? Am I not better to thee than ten sons?
