6Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.
7And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.
8“Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’ t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
— 1 Samuel 1:6-8
