1 And there will be one man from Ramathaim-Zophim, from mount Ephraim, and his name Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: 2 And to him two wives; the name of the one Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah: and there will be to Peninnah children, and to Hannah no children. 3 And this man went up from his city from days to days, to worship and to sacrifice to Jehovah of armies in Shiloh. And there the two sons of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, priests to Jehovah. 4 And the day will be and Elkanah will sacrifice, and he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughter, portions. 5 And to Hannah he will give one portion more, for he loved Hannah; and Jehovah shut up her womb. 6 Being grieved, her distress grieved her so that she was moved because Jehovah shut up about her womb. 7 And so she will do year by year when she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she will be grieved, and she will weep and will not eat. 1 Samuel 1:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation.
