Genesis29:31
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated , he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren .
Comparatively to Rachel, less loved, slighted. So that word is oft used, as Deut. 21. 15. Matth. 6. 24. and 10. 37. compated with Luke 14. 26. Iohn 12. 25.
Thus variously doth God distribute his favours, that all may be contented, and none despised.
