4 When the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice, he used to give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters, 5 but he would give a double portion to Hannah because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb. 6 Her rival, to upset her, would torment her constantly, since the LORD had closed her womb. 1 Samuel 1:4-6, New American Bible Revised.
