1Samuel:1:4-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when the time was that Elkanah offered ,
he gave to Peninnah his wife ,
and to all her sons and her daughters ,
portions :
*
But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion ;
for he loved Hannah :
but the LORD had shut up her womb .
*
And her adversary also provoked her sore ,
for to make her fret ,
because the LORD had shut up her womb .
*
And as he did so year by year ,
when she went up to the house of the LORD ,
so she provoked her ;
therefore she wept ,
and did not eat .
*
Then 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 ?
