6 Peninnah liked to make Hannah feel miserable about not having any children,

7 especially when the family went to the house of the LORD [5] each year. One day, Elkanah was there offering a sacrifice, when Hannah began crying and refused to eat.

8 So Elkanah asked, “Hannah, why are you crying? Why won’t you eat? Why do you feel so bad? Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons?”
