Peninnah was one of Elkanah's two wives and the mother of several children, while his other wife, Hannah, remained childless for years (1 Samuel 1:2). Peninnah taunted Hannah over her barrenness, provoking the grief that led Hannah to pray for a son at Shiloh, a prayer answered with the birth of Samuel (1 Samuel 1:4-7).
