1 Samuel 1:1-3

1Now there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim1 in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu,2 the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2He had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none.

3Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh, where Eli’s two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.
