1 Samuel 1:5-7
Common English Bible
5 But he would give only one part of it to Hannah, though he loved her, because the Lord had kept her from conceiving.[a] 6 And because the Lord had kept Hannah from conceiving, her rival would make fun of her mercilessly, just to bother her. 7 So that is what took place year after year. Whenever Hannah went to the Lord’s house, Peninnah would make fun of her. Then she would cry and wouldn’t eat anything.
