1 Samuel 1:7 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And as he did so ... - It should rather be “And so she did year by year, as often as she went up to the House of the Lord, so she provoked her.” Though the verb is masculine, Peninnah must be the subject, because as often as SHE went up follows. The Vulgate has “they went up.”

1 Samuel 1:7

7 And as he did so year by year, whend she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
