5. But unto Channah he gave a double portion; for he loved Channah; but Hashem had shut up her womb.
6. And her tzarah (adversary) also provoked her greatly, for to make her fret, because Hashem had shut up her womb.
7. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the Bais Hashem, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
8. Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Channah, why weepest thou? And why eatest thou not? And why is thy lev bitter? Am not I better to thee than asarah banim?
9. So Channah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli HaKohen sat upon a chair by mezuzat Heikhal Hashem.
10. And she was in bitterness of nefesh, and davened unto Hashem, and wept greatly.
