1 Samuel

  • The Birth of Samuel

  • |1 Samuel 1:1| There was a certain man of a Ramathaim-zophim of b the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, c an Ephrathite.

  • |1 Samuel 1:2| 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.

  • |1 Samuel 1:3| Now this man used to go up d year by year from his city e to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts f at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests of the LORD.

  • |1 Samuel 1:4| On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, g he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

  • |1 Samuel 1:5| But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the LORD had closed her womb. 1

  • |1 Samuel 1:6| And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

  • |1 Samuel 1:7| So it went on year by year. As often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

  • |1 Samuel 1:8| And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? h Am I not more to you than ten sons?”

  • |1 Samuel 1:9| After they had eaten and drunk in Shiloh, Hannah rose. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of i the temple of the LORD.

  • |1 Samuel 1:10| She was j deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly.
