“But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: (for he loued Hannah, but the Lord had shut vp her wombe.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
1:5 Shut up her womb - Yet Elkanah did not withdraw his love from her. To abate out just love to any relation, for the sake of any infirmity which they cannot help, is to add affliction to the afflicted.
