1 Samuel 1:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 1

3 Chaque année, cet homme montait de sa ville à Silo, pour se prosterner devant l’Éternel des armées et pour lui offrir des sacrifices. Là se trouvaient les deux fils d’Éli, Hophni et Phinées, sacrificateurs de l’Éternel.

4 Le jour où Elkana offrait son sacrifice, il donnait des portions à Peninna, sa femme, et à tous les fils et à toutes les filles qu’il avait d’elle.

5 Mais il donnait à Anne une portion double; car il aimait Anne, que l’Éternel avait rendue stérile.

6 Sa rivale lui prodiguait les mortifications, pour la porter à s’irriter de ce que l’Éternel l’avait rendue stérile.

7 Et toutes les années il en était ainsi. Chaque fois qu’Anne montait à la maison de l’Éternel, Peninna la mortifiait de la même manière. Alors elle pleurait et ne mangeait point.
