પણ હાન્નાને તે હંમેશા બમણો ભાગ આપતો, કેમ કે તે હાન્ના પર વધારે પ્રેમ રાખતો હતો, પણ ઈશ્વરે તેનું ગર્ભસ્થાન બંધ કર્યું હતું.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १:५
परन्तु हन्ना को वह दो गुना दान दिया करता था, क्योंकि वह हन्ना से प्रीति रखता था; तो भी यहोवा ने उसकी कोख बन्द कर रखी थी।

In context

3This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.

4When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;

5but he gave a double portion to Hannah, for he loved Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb.

6Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

7So year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house, her rival provoked her. Therefore she wept, and didn’t eat.
