Who are Kingdom Bible Animations?Kingdom Bible Animations brings Scripture to life through cinematic 3D animation for teen and adult viewers.
We retell the narratives of the Bible in full, without flattening them. The wars and famines, the exiles and betrayals, the prophets nobody wanted to hear, the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These are serious stories, and we animate them as such: grounded in the text, set in their historical context, and told with the weight they carry.
Who was Hannah?Hannah is one of the wives of Elkanah mentioned in the First Book of Samuel. According to the Hebrew Bible, she was the mother of Samuel.
The Biblical narrative about Hannah can be found in 1 Samuel 1:2-2:21. Outside of the first two chapters of 1 Samuel, she is not otherwise mentioned in the Bible.
In the biblical narrative, Hannah is one of two wives of Elkanah. The other, Peninnah, had given birth to Elkanah's children, but Hannah remained childless. Nevertheless, Elkanah preferred Hannah. According to Lillian Klein, the use of this chiasmus underscores the standing of the women: Hannah is the primary wife, yet Peninnah has succeeded in bearing children. Hannah's status as primary wife and her barrenness recall Sarah and Rebecca in Genesis 17 and Genesis 25 respectively. Klein suggests that Elkanah took Peninnah as a second wife because of Hannah's barrenness.
What is Woman?A woman is a female human being. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause.
