"He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. to keep...: Heb. to dwell in an house"

"And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren."

"And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children."

"And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."

"And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years."
