Barren

Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types

Exodus 23:26 (c) Here is indicated a failure in service so that the person does not reproduce himself in others. He has no spiritual children. He has led none to CHRIST. That unfortunate situation will not exist in the life of one who walks with the Lord and yields to the Holy Spirit. (See also Deuteronomy 7:14; 2 Kings 2:19; Psalm 113:9; Song of Solomon 4:2).

1 Samuel 2:5 (b) Hannah is telling us in this figure that those whose hearts are right with GOD, and who desire the glory of GOD will find that the life which has been barren will now become unusually fruitful.
