1 Samuel 1:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Birth of Samuel

1 There was a man from Ramathaim of the Zuphites in the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. ² He had two wives. One was named Hannah, and the other was named Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

³ Every year this man went up from his city to worship and to offer sacrifices to the Lord of Armies^[a] at Shiloh. Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were serving there as priests of the Lord.
