1 Samuel 1:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 This man would travel from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts[a] in Shiloh. The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests there.
4 When Elkanah performed his sacrifice, he would give a portion of it to Peninnah his wife and a portion each to all of her sons and daughters, 5 but he would give a double portion to Hannah, for he loved her although the Lord had left her barren.
