Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root פָּנִין (paneen), meaning "coral" or "pearl."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Peninnah, as she is a specific Hebrew figure without a direct Greek counterpart in the New Testament. Usage: Peninnah is used as a proper name for a female character in the Hebrew Bible. She is mentioned in the context of the family of Elkanah. Context: Peninnah is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of 1 Samuel. She is one of the two wives of Elkanah, the other being Hannah. Peninnah is noted for having children, while Hannah initially had none, which led to tension and rivalry between the two women. Peninnah's role in the narrative highlights themes of family dynamics, jealousy, and divine intervention. Her actions and the resulting emotional distress for Hannah set the stage for Hannah's fervent prayer and subsequent birth of Samuel, a significant prophet in Israel's history. The account of Peninnah can be found in 1 Samuel 1:2-7, where her interactions with Hannah are described. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "He had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none" (1 Samuel 1:2, BSB). Peninnah's story serves as a backdrop to the miraculous birth of Samuel and the unfolding of God's plan for Israel.
