1 Samuel 1:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 1
6 Y su competidora la irritaba, enojándola y entristeciéndola, porque Jehová había cerrado su matriz.
7 Y así hacía cada año: cuando subía á la casa de Jehová, enojaba así á la otra; por lo cual ella lloraba, y no comía.
8 Y Elcana su marido le dijo: Anna, ¿por qué lloras? ¿y por qué no comes? ¿y por qué está afligido tu corazón? ¿No te soy yo mejor que diez hijos?
9 Y levantóse Anna después que hubo comido y bebido en Silo; y mientras el sacerdote Eli estaba sentado en una silla junto á un pilar del templo de Jehová,
10 Ella con amargura de alma oró á Jehová, y lloró abundantemente.
