His account is found in the opening chapters of the First Book of Samuel. Elkanah was an Ephraimite, residing in the hill country of Ephraim, specifically in Ramathaim-zophim, which is identified with the town of Ramah (<a href="/1_samuel/1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1</a>).<br><br><b>Family Background and Lineage</b><br><br>Elkanah was a Levite by descent, as indicated in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-27.htm">1 Chronicles 6:27-28</a>, where his genealogy is traced back to Levi through Kohath. This lineage is significant as it places Elkanah within the tribe responsible for religious duties and temple service, although he lived in the territory of Ephraim.<br><br><b>Marriage and Family Life</b><br><br>Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah was initially barren, which caused her great distress. Despite this, Elkanah showed a deep affection for Hannah, giving her a double portion of the sacrificial offerings, as recorded in <a href="/1_samuel/1-5.htm">1 Samuel 1:5</a>: "But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her, even though the LORD had closed her womb."<br><br><b>Religious Devotion</b><br><br>Elkanah is depicted as a devout man who regularly worshiped and sacrificed to the LORD at Shiloh, where the tabernacle was located. This annual pilgrimage underscores his commitment to the religious practices of Israel. His dedication is further highlighted in <a href="/1_samuel/1-3.htm">1 Samuel 1:3</a>: "Year after year this man would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at Shiloh."<br><br><b>Role in Samuel's Birth and Dedication</b><br><br>Elkanah's role in the birth and dedication of Samuel is pivotal. After Hannah's fervent prayer for a child and her vow to dedicate him to the LORD, Elkanah supported her decision. When Samuel was born, Elkanah agreed to Hannah's plan to present Samuel to the LORD, as seen in <a href="/1_samuel/1-23.htm">1 Samuel 1:23</a>: "Do what seems best to you," Elkanah her husband told her. "Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word."<br><br><b>Legacy</b><br><br>Elkanah's legacy is primarily carried through his son Samuel, who became one of Israel's greatest prophets and judges. Samuel's leadership was instrumental in the transition from the period of the judges to the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. Elkanah's faithfulness and support of Hannah's vow played a crucial role in the fulfillment of God's plan for Israel through Samuel.<br><br><b>References in Scripture</b><br><br>Elkanah is mentioned in several passages, including <a href="/1_samuel/1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1-28</a>, <a href="/1_samuel/2-11.htm">1 Samuel 2:11</a>, and <a href="/1_chronicles/6-27.htm">1 Chronicles 6:27-28</a>. These references highlight his family, his religious devotion, and his role in the early life of Samuel.<br><br>Elkanah's account is a testament to faithfulness, both in family life and in religious devotion, serving as an example of piety and support within the family structure as ordained by God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Elkanah</span><p>God the zealous; the zeal of God<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>God-created. <p>(1.)

He was "an Ephrathite" (<a href="/1_samuel/1-1.htm">1 Samuel 1:1</a>, 4, 8), but lived at Ramah, a man of wealth and high position.

Of his two wives, Hannah, the childless, was best beloved. At Shiloh she received through Eli the promise of a son.
