1 Samuel 1:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ Her rival, however, ^(A)would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb. ⁷ It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat. ⁸ Then Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? ^(B)Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
