There was a certain man from Ramathame, a Zophite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zoph, an Ephraimite.
Matt BeattieGUEST
He had two wives.
Matt BeattieGUEST
One was called Hannah and the other Penina.
Matt BeattieGUEST
Year after year, this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the Lord.
Matt BeattieGUEST
Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord.
Matt BeattieGUEST
Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Penina and to all her sons and daughters, but to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb." Because the Lord had closed Hannah's womb, her rival kept on provoking her in order to irritate her.
Matt BeattieGUEST
This went on year after year.
