1 Samuel 1:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 1

2 Y tenía él dos mujeres; el nombre de la una era Anna, y el nombre de la otra Peninna. Y Peninna tenía hijos, mas Anna no los tenía.

3 Y subía aquel varón todos los años de su ciudad, á adorar y sacrificar á Jehová de los ejércitos en Silo, donde estaban dos hijos de Eli, Ophni y Phinees, sacerdotes de Jehová.

4 Y cuando venía el día, Elcana sacrificaba, y daba á Peninna su mujer, y á todos sus hijos y á todas sus hijas, á cada uno su parte.

5 Mas á Anna daba una parte escogida; porque amaba á Anna, aunque Jehová había cerrado su matriz.

6 Y su competidora la irritaba, enojándola y entristeciéndola, porque Jehová había cerrado su matriz.
