2 and he hath two wives, the name of the one 'is' Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah hath children, and Hannah hath no children.
3 And that man hath gone up out of his city from time to time, to bow himself, and to sacrifice, before Jehovah of Hosts, in Shiloh, and there 'are' two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Jehovah.
4 And the day cometh, and Elkanah sacrificeth, and he hath given to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions,
5 and to Hannah he giveth a certain portion -- double, for he hath loved Hannah, and Jehovah hath shut her womb;
6 and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for Jehovah hath shut up her womb.
