Family: Infelicity in Elkanah, on Account of Bigamic Feuds

Source: Nav

1 Samuel 1:4–7 And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. / But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb. / Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.
