Elkanah and His Wives
1
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

He had two wives: the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

This man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to IAUA of hosts in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there priests to IAUA.

It came to pass on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, that he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;

but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but IAUA had shut up her womb.

Her rival vexed her sore, to make her fret, because IAUA had shut up her womb.

As he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of IAUA, so she vexed her; therefore she wept, and would not eat.

Elkanah her husband said to her: 'Hannah, why weep you? and why eat you not? and why is your heart grieved? am not I better to you than ten sons?'

So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk--now Eli the priest sat on his seat by the door-post of the temple of IAUA;

She vowed a vow, and said: 'O IAUA of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, but will give to Your handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to IAUA all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head.'

It came to pass, as she prayed long before IAUA, that Eli watched her mouth.

Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard; therefore, Eli thought she had been drunken.

She said: 'Let your servant find favour in your sight.' So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

They rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before IAUA, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and IAUA remembered her.

It came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel: 'because I have asked him of IAUA.'

But Hannah went not up; for she said to her husband: 'Until the child be weaned, when I will bring him, that he may appear before IAUA, and there abide for ever.'

Elkanah her husband said to her: 'Do what seems you good; tarry until you have weaned him; only IAUA establish His word.' So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him.

When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the house of IAUA in Shiloh; and the child was young.
