1 Samuel 1:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

Peninnah Upsets Hannah

⁶ Peninnah always upset Hannah and made her feel bad because the Lord had not made her able to have children. ⁷ This happened every year when their family went to the Lord’s house at Shiloh. Peninnah would upset Hannah so much that she would begin to cry and would not eat anything. One year when this happened, ⁸ her husband Elkanah said to her, “Hannah, why are you crying? Why won’t you eat? Why are you so sad? You have me. Isn’t that better than having even ten sons?”
