Context — Elkanah and His Wives
5But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb.
6Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her viciously to taunt her.
7And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.
8“Hannah, why are you crying?” her husband Elkanah asked. “Why won’t you eat? Why is your heart so grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?” 9So after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.Cross References

1 Samuel 1:7 Summary
This verse shows how Hannah, a woman who couldn't have children, was treated poorly by her rival, which made her very sad and upset. She would cry and not eat when she went to the house of the Lord, which was a place where she was supposed to feel close to God. Despite her difficult situation, Hannah's story teaches us about the importance of trusting in God's plan and sovereignty, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28. We can learn from Hannah's example and bring our own struggles and concerns before God, knowing that He cares for us and wants to bring us comfort and peace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Hannah's rival taunt her so viciously?
Hannah's rival, likely due to her own insecurities and frustrations, took advantage of Hannah's vulnerable situation, as the Lord had closed Hannah's womb, and taunted her, as seen in 1 Samuel 1:6, which says her rival provoked her and taunted her viciously.
How did Hannah's situation affect her relationship with her husband?
Despite the challenges, Hannah's husband Elkanah showed his love and care for her, as seen in 1 Samuel 1:8, where he asks her why she is crying and comforts her, demonstrating the importance of a loving and supportive relationship, as emphasized in Ephesians 5:25-33.
What can we learn from Hannah's response to her situation?
Hannah's response to her situation, although marked by weeping and not eating, ultimately led her to pour out her heart to the Lord, as seen in 1 Samuel 1:9-18, demonstrating the importance of bringing our concerns and emotions before God, as encouraged in Psalms 62:8 and Philippians 4:6-7.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of 1 Samuel?
This verse sets the stage for the story of Hannah and the birth of Samuel, highlighting the themes of faith, perseverance, and God's sovereignty, which are central to the book of 1 Samuel, and ultimately point to the coming of Jesus Christ, as seen in the larger narrative of the Bible, including Genesis 3:15 and Luke 1:26-38.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I feel provoked or taunted, and how can I respond in a way that honors God?
- How can I, like Hannah, bring my deepest concerns and emotions before the Lord, and trust in His sovereignty and goodness?
- What role does community and support play in my life, and how can I, like Elkanah, be a source of comfort and encouragement to those around me?
- In what ways can I, like Hannah, trust in God's plan and timing, even when my circumstances seem difficult or uncertain?

And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:7
As he did so, i.e. either as oft as he went and carried them with him to worship; or as Elkanah expressed peculiar kindness to Hannah, as was said, . Year by year, i.e. every year, at the days or times mentioned, . When she went up to the house of the Lord. This circumstance is noted, first, As the occasion of the contention, because at such times they were forced to more society with one another by the way, and in their lodgings; whereas at home they had distinct apartments, where they might be asunder; and then her husband’ s extraordinary love and kindness was showed to Hannah, whereby Peninnah was the more exasperated; then also Hannah prayed earnestly for a child, which hitherto she had done in vain; and this possibly she reproached her with. Secondly, As the aggravation of her sin, that when she came to worship God, and to offer sacrifices, when she should have been reconciled even to her enemies, ,24, she did quarrel with so near a relation. Did not eat; either little, or rather nothing at all, as being overwhelmed with grief, and therefore unfit to eat of that sacred food, according to .
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:7
1 Samuel 1:7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.Ver. 7. And as he did so year by year.] His kindness to her thus continued, stirreth up the spirit of petulant Peninnah, whom he could not silence, to upbraid her with her barrenness, thereby boasting of her own fruitfulness, no otherwise than if she had it of herself, and not from the Lord. When she went up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked her.] Then she provoked her, when she might do her most mischief - viz., at the very time of praying and offering sacrifice to the Lord, when she should have been most cheerful and free from all disquietment. And withal it implieth, saith a grave expositor, that she upbraided her with the fruitlessness of her seeking to God so earnestly at those times for a child. Peter Martyr telleth us of some who, by Peninnah’ s provoking of her, understand her urging of her to pray to God, who only hath power to make a woman fruitful. But if Peninnah put Hannah upon her prayer, it was merely by accident: as she that called Monica, Augustine’ s mother, Meribibula, by way of reproach, made her more cautious and abstinent. Mr. Jackson.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:7
(7) And as he did so year by year.—That is, Elkanah, on the occasion of every yearly visit to the national sanctuary, was in the habit of publicly giving the childless Hannah the double gift, to show his undiminished love; while the happier mother of his children, jealous of her rival, every year chose this solemn occasion of offering thank-offerings before the Tabernacle, especially to taunt the childless wife, no doubt referring the absence of children, which among the mothers of Israel was considered so deep a calamity, to the special auger of God.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:7
Verse 7. And as he did so year by year] As the whole family went up to Shiloh to the annual festivals, Peninnah had both sons and daughters to accompany her, 1 Samuel 1:4, but Hannah had none; and Peninnah took this opportunity particularly to twit Hannah with her barrenness, by making an ostentatious exhibition of her children. Therefore she wept] She was greatly distressed, because it was a great reproach to a woman among the Jews to be barren; because, say some, every one hoped that the Messiah should spring from her line.
