7 And this would happen year by year when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she would provoke her; therefore, she would weep and not eat.

8 Then Elkanah, her husband, said to her, Hannah, why dost thou weep? And why dost thou not eat? And why is thy heart grieved? [Am] I not better to thee than ten sons?

9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
