1 Samuel 1:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Elkanah[a] would do this year after year, as often as Hannah[b] went up to the house of the Lord. Likewise, Peninnah[c] would provoke her, and Hannah[d] would cry and would not eat. 8 Elkanah her husband told her, “Hannah, why are you crying and why don’t you eat? Why are you upset?[e] Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
9 Hannah got up after she had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the chair by the doorpost of the tent[f] of the Lord.
