5. But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah; but the LORD had rendered her barren.
6. And her adversary also provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because the LORD had made her barren.
7. 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.
8. 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?
9. So Hannah rose after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drank. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
10. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.
