Peninnah
Peninnah ((ヘブライ語:פְּנִנָּה) ''Pəninnāh''; sometimes transliterated ''Penina'') was one of Elkanah's two wives, briefly mentioned in the first Book of Samuel (1 Samuel 1:2). Her name may derive from פְּנִינִים (''pənînîm'') meaning "pearl", "jewel" or "coral".〔Smith, William. Smith's Bible Dictionary.〕
==Biblical account==
Peninnah was less favored than Elkanah's other wife, Hannah; although she bore him more children, Peninnah also brought grief and disharmony to the household by her mocking of infertile Hannah. Every year, when Elkanah offered up a sacrifice at Shiloh, he would share out the portions of meat and give Hannah a double portion, which incited the jealousy of Peninnah.〔1 Samuel 1:4-5.〕 Peninnah would taunt Hannah for being childless. She would grieve Hannah by means of ordinary everyday activities, taking pains to remind her, at all hours of the day, of the difference between them.〔Pesikta Rabbati 43〕
According to Lillian Klein, "Because the reader’s sympathies are directed toward the childless Hannah, Peninnah comes across as a malicious woman. In fact, she is probably a literary convention, a foil for the independence and goodness of Hannah, and should be regarded as such."〔(Klein, Lillian. "Peninnah: Bible", Jewish Women's Archive )〕
Eventually, in answer to her desperate prayer, Hannah’s womb was opened, and she bore Samuel, and later another three sons and two daughters.〔1 Samuel 2:21.〕 After the birth of Samuel, Peninnah is not mentioned again, and 1 Samuel 2:20 says that Eli "would bless Elkanah and his wife", referring to Hannah.
