Hey folks, if you're looking for a heartwarming story of family love, you won't find it in 1 Samuel 1. We meet Elkanah and his two wives, Hannah and Peninnah, and let's just say the family dynamics are a bit awkward. Peninnah has lots of kids and she's not afraid to rub it in Hannah's face, who is childless. Hannah is so brokenhearted that she makes a vow to God - if he gives her a son, she'll dedicate him to the service of the Lord. Lo and behold, God answers her prayers and she gives birth to the baby Samuel. She keeps her promise and gives him to the priest Eli at the temple. That's it for 1 Samuel 1, folks!
