- There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
- He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.
- Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD.
- Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.
- But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the LORD had closed her womb.

- 以法蓮山地的拉瑪瑣非、有一個以法蓮人、名叫以利加拿、是蘇弗的玄孫、託戶的曾孫、以利戶的孫子、耶羅罕的兒子。
- 他有兩個妻、一名哈拿、一名毘尼拿、毘尼拿有兒女、哈拿沒有兒女。
- 這人每年從本城上到示羅、敬拜祭祀萬軍之耶和華.在那裡有以利的兩個兒子、何弗尼、非尼哈、當耶和華的祭司。
- 以利加拿每逢獻祭的日子、將祭肉分給他的妻毘尼拿和毘尼拿所生的兒女。
- 給哈拿的卻是雙分、因為他愛哈拿.無奈耶和華不使哈拿生育。
