1 Samuel 1:3-6
Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at
Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD. 4 Whenever the
day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to
all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and
the LORD had closed her womb. 6 Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival kept
provoking her in order to irritate her.
