But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 1 of 1 Samuel. The opening of 1 Samuel presents Elkanah as a man who maintains a regular practice of worship at Shiloh despite the family tension caused by Hannah’s barrenness and Peninnah’s provocation. The narrative thus introduces two fundamental themes of the book: the fragility of human structures and God’s intervention in seemingly barren circumstances. Hannah’s affliction is not presented as a sign of divine abandonment, but as the context from which Samuel will emerge, a decisive figure in Israel’s transition toward monarchy.

Aber Hanna gab er ein Stück traurig; denn er hatte Hanna lieb, aber der HERR hatte ihren Leib verschlossen.
Mas a Anna daba una parte escogida; porque amaba a Anna, aunque Jehová había cerrado su matriz.
Pero a Ana le daba una porción doble, porque amaba a Ana, aunque Jehová había cerrado su vientre.
Mais il donnait à Anne une portion double; car il aimait Anne, que l'Eternel avait rendue stérile.
ma ad Anna ne diede una doppia; perciocchè egli amava Anna, benchè il Signore le avesse serrata la matrice.
Porém a Ana dava uma parte excelente; porque amava a Ana, embora o SENHOR lhe tivesse cerrado a madre.
他給 哈拿 的卻是雙分,因為他愛 哈拿 。耶和華卻不使 哈拿 生育。
