1 Samuel 1:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 1

6 E sua concorrente a irritava, irando-a e entristecendo-a, porque o SENHOR havia fechado sua madre.

7 E assim fazia cada ano: quando subia à casa do SENHOR, irritava assim à outra; pelo qual ela chorava, e não comia.

8 E Elcana seu marido lhe disse: Ana, por que choras? Por que não comes? E por que está afligido teu coração? Não te sou eu melhor que dez filhos?

9 E levantou-se Ana depois que havia comido e bebido em Siló; e enquanto o sacerdote Eli estava sentado em uma cadeira junto a um pilar do templo do SENHOR,

10 Ela com amargura de alma orou ao SENHOR, e chorou abundantemente.
