The story of Hannah and Samuel's birth is a love story with few details provided in the Biblical account. No one knows the true events in Elkanah's matrimonial chronology and one can only speculate how he managed to attract two wives. I created a cultural background for Bible students to understand life in the Judges period and to illustrate how Peninah symbolizes the Believer's human nature and how Hannah represents the spiritual nature. Although I have taken liberties with the narrative, the core message remains accurate to the Biblical story. Elkanah seemed utterly devoted to his first wife's children, yet claimed that he loved Hannah, wife number two, the most. Serious rivalry existed between the two wives. Elkanah represents the Believer caught between two women who typify spiritual principles. Hannah, wife number two, became depressed because she could not produce offspring. She is the persecuted yet the much loved second wife. But Hannah knew how to pray and touched everyone's heart, except Peninah the first wife. She prayed for a miracle.
