Who was Peninnah from the first book of Samuel?

       "He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had none. Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD. Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters." 1 Samuel 1: 2-4

       Peninnah (I Sam. 1:2, 4), one of the two wives of Elkanah. She taunted his other wife Hannah, mother of Samuel. No mention is made of Peninnah save that she bore children and lived in the town of Ramah and vexed Hannah when the family made annual trips together to Shiloh for the feast.
       It is Peninnah, not Hannah, who appears to have had an unpleasant disposition and gloried in the fact that she could have children while Hannah had none. But to Hannah later were born Samuel and other children.
