1. Samuelsbok 1,5

Hannah

3 Hvert år dro denne mannen opp fra sin by for å tilbe og ofre til Herren, hærskarenes Gud, i Sjilo, hvor Elis to sønner — Hofni og Pinehas — tjente som prester for Herren.

4 Hver gang Elkana ofret, ga han deler av kjøttet til sin kone Peninna og til alle hennes sønner og døtre.

Men til Hanna ga han en dobbel del, for han elsket henne, selv om Herren ikke hadde gitt henne barn.

6 Hennes rival provoserte henne bittert for å gjøre henne opprørt, fordi Herren hadde lukket hennes livmor.

7 Dette skjedde år etter år. Hver gang Hanna dro opp til Herrens hus, provoserte hennes rival henne, og hun gråt og ville ikke spise.
