NASB
"but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had closed her womb."
— 1 Samuel 1:5, NASB
“But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb.”
“but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb. ”
“but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yahweh had shut up her womb.”
“But to Hannah he would give a double portion, because he loved Hannah, although the LORD had not enabled her to have children.”
“But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.”
“But to Hannah he gave one part, though Hannah was very dear to him, but the Lord had not let her have children.”
“But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb.”
He had two wives: the name of one was Hannah and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD there.
When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;
but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had closed her womb.
Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.
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.
Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
