Luke 1:13 records the angel telling Zacharias that Elizabeth will bear a son; like Hannah, a barren woman receives a child through God's intervention.

Luke 1:25 shows Elizabeth rejoicing that God took away her reproach; Hannah similarly had her reproach of barrenness removed by God's gift of children.
