Samuel, the last Judge
Today we are going to learn about the last Judge. His name was Samuel. He was also born to a woman who could not have children for a long time. His mother's name was Hannah. Hannah was the wife of a man named Elkanah. Elkanah had another wife named Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah did not. So Peninnah made fun of her. This made Hannah very sad.
