This man would go up from his city year after year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Heaven’s Armies at Shiloh.(It was there that the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phineas, served as the LORD’s priests.)
The day came and Elkanah sacrificed.(Now he used to give meat portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
But to Hannah he would give a double portion, because he loved Hannah, although the LORD had not enabled her to have children.
Her rival used to aggravate her to the point of exasperation, just to irritate her, since the LORD had not enabled her to have children.
This is how it would go year after year. As often as she went up to the LORD’s house, Peninnah would offend her that way.) So she cried and refused to eat.
Then her husband Elkanah said to her,“Hannah, why are you crying and why won’t you eat? Why are you so upset? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
So Hannah got up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. At the time Eli the priest was sitting in his chair by the doorpost of the LORD’s sanctuary.
