Peninnah had children, but Hannah was barren.
He had one more wife whose name was Peninnah.
Peninnah had kids but Hannah did not have any kids.
She remained barren while Elkanah's other wife, Peninnah, produced offspring.
Peninnah would continually provoke her because Hannah could
not have a child.
Her husband's second wife, Peninnah, had already borne him sons and daughters.
And he gave portions to his wife Peninnah, and to all her sons and daughters.
When Elkanah offered sacrifices,
he always gave a share of the meat to his wife Peninnah.
When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters,
And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters,
And he had two wives;
the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children,
but Hannah had no children.
Instead of being sensitive to Hannah's plight, Peninnah viewed her as a rival
and displayed such an attitude toward her that Hannah“ would weep and not eat.” - 1 Samuel 1: 2, 4- 7.
