^{4 Ref} And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

^{5 Ref} but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb.

^{6 Ref} And her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.

^{7 Ref} And `as' he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

^{8 Ref} And Elkanah her husband said unto 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?
