1 Samuel 1:1

The Family of Elkanah

1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the ^amountains of Ephraim, and his name was ^bElkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, ^can Ephraimite.

2 And he had ^atwo wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

3 This man went up from his city ^ayearly ^bto worship and sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in ^cShiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there.

4 And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an ^aoffering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.
