John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 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.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Samuel 1:5

But unto Hannah he gave a worthy (c) portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

(c) Some read, a portion with a hearty cheer.
