1 Samuel 1:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Her husband Elkanah would say to her, “Hannah, why are you crying and why won’t you eat? Why are you ·sad [downhearted]? ·Don’t I mean more [or Am I not better] to you than ten sons?”

⁹ Once, after ·they had eaten their meal [^Leating and drinking] in Shiloh [1:3], Hannah got up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on ·a chair [the seat] ·near the entrance to [by the doorpost of] the Lord’s ·house [temple; Tabernacle]. ¹⁰ Hannah was so ·sad [anguished; deeply distressed; ^Lbitter] that she cried bitterly ·and [as she] prayed to the Lord.
