Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

Verse 8 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.
