- Elkanah:
- "Now there was¹ a certainª manª of¹ Ramathaimzophim,ª of mountª¹ Ephraim,ª and his nameª [was] Elkanah,ª the sonª of Jeroham,ª the sonª of Elihu,ª the sonª of Tohu,ª the sonª of Zuph,ª an Ephrathite:ª¹" {1Sm 1:1} + "And they rose up²° in the morning² early,ª°¹ and worshippedª° beforeª the LORD,ª and returned,ª° and cameª° to¹ their houseª to Ramah:ª and Elkanahª knewª°¹ Hannahª his wife;ª and the LORDª rememberedª° her. ... Wherefore it came to pass,¹ when the timeª was comeª about after Hannahª had conceived,ª° that she bareª° a son,ª and calledª°¹ his nameª Samuel,ª [saying], Because¹ I have askedª° him of the LORD.ª¹" {1Sm 1:19-20}; Houbigant says that we may here venture to add, "Samuel his son."
