5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the Lord had closed her womb.1:5 Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain. Septuagint And, although he loved Hannah, he would give Hannah only one portion, because the Lord had closed her womb8 And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Ruth 4:15Am I not more to you than ten sons?"
11 And she Gen. 28:20;Judg. 11:30vowed a vow and said, "O Lord of hosts, if you will indeed Gen. 29:32look on the affliction of your servant and ver. 19;[Gen. 30:22] remember me and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, Judg. 13:5;[Num. 6:5]and no razor shall touch his head."
23 [Num. 30:7] Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him; 2 Sam. 7:25only, may the Lord establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. 27 For this child I prayed, ver. 17;[Ps. 6:9]and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him. 28 Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord."
Gen. 24:26,52And he worshiped the Lord there.
