1 Samuel 1:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ This went on year after year. Whenever she went up to the house of the Lord, she provoked her. This made her weep, and she refused to eat. ⁸ Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why are you not eating? Why are you so downhearted? Am I not worth more than ten sons to you?”

Hannah’s Prayer. ⁹ Once, when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the Lord.
