Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:5

Theological / Devotional

A worthy portion. Literally, “one portion of two faces.” Elkanah exerted every influence at his command to bring unity, giving each member of his family a “portion.” To show publicly that it was not his wish that Hannah should be barren, he gave her a double portion, as if she had a child (see PP 569).
