Hey, Campers.
Welcome to Bible Gems.
00:00:01.43\00:00:03.47
Today, we're gonna learn
about Hannah and Peninnah.
00:00:03.50\00:00:07.47
Actually, it's Peninnah. Right.
00:00:07.50\00:00:09.57
Hannah was sad because
she couldn't have any kids.
00:00:09.60\00:00:12.87
But, you know, who could
have lots and lots of kids?
00:00:12.91\00:00:15.91
Who? Penirah.
00:00:15.94\00:00:18.18
No, Julie, it's Peninnah.
00:00:18.21\00:00:20.52
Peninnah would
make fun of Hannah
00:00:20.55\00:00:21.88
for not being able
to have any children.
00:00:21.92\00:00:23.95
Mean old Pandora.
00:00:23.99\00:00:26.02
No, Julie, it's... Never mind.
00:00:26.05\00:00:28.36
So, Hannah went to the
temple and prayed to God
00:00:28.39\00:00:30.23
that she could have a son.
00:00:30.26\00:00:31.59
And then... Oh!
00:00:31.63\00:00:33.46
It's time to start. Let's go!
00:00:33.50\00:00:35.46
No, no, Julie.
00:00:35.50\00:00:36.83
We're not done
talking to the campers yet.
00:00:36.87\00:00:38.37
Oh.
00:00:38.40\00:00:39.73
Anyway, like I was saying,
Hannah went to the temple
00:00:39.77\00:00:42.00
and then...
00:00:42.04\00:00:43.37
Oh, there is the
music. It's time to start.
00:00:43.41\00:00:45.77
Let's go. No.
Julie, hold your horses.
00:00:45.81\00:00:49.04
What horses?
00:00:49.08\00:00:50.41
Stay tuned to find
out what happens to Hannah
00:00:54.45\00:00:57.39
and Penelope.
00:00:57.42\00:00:59.19
You weren't even trying anymore.
00:00:59.22\00:01:01.36
We should really go
check on those horses.
00:01:01.39\00:01:03.09
Welcome to Bible Gems.
I'm glad you can make it.
00:01:29.55\00:01:32.22
I'm Uncle Aron.
00:01:32.25\00:01:33.59
And today, we're
going to be learning
00:01:33.62\00:01:34.96
an amazing Bible story.
00:01:34.99\00:01:36.69
I hope you're ready.
00:01:36.73\00:01:38.09
Aunty Linda?
00:01:38.13\00:01:39.76
What? What? I
brought an amazing Bible Gem.
00:01:39.79\00:01:41.86
Oh, look, look this.
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.60
Can you believe
it? It's the gem.
00:01:44.63\00:01:46.60
Oh, you gonna have
to show Uncle Aron.
00:01:46.63\00:01:48.27
Unlce Aron, look.
00:01:48.30\00:01:49.84
Well, just amazing
like I thought it would be.
00:01:49.87\00:01:53.68
Can't wait to hear it.
00:01:53.71\00:01:55.64
Joe Dee, do you think
00:01:55.68\00:01:57.01
we could sing
about that Bible gem?
00:01:57.05\00:01:58.38
Oh, yes. Yes, I think we should.
00:01:58.41\00:02:01.12
Oh, that is so awesome.
00:02:01.15\00:02:02.78
Delight yourself in the Lord
00:02:05.72\00:02:12.56
Delight yourself in the Lord
00:02:12.59\00:02:18.93
Delight yourself in the Lord
00:02:18.97\00:02:25.47
And he shall give you
00:02:25.51\00:02:29.44
The desires of your heart
00:02:29.48\00:02:32.98
Psalm 37:4
00:02:33.01\00:02:37.19
Beautiful.
00:02:40.76\00:02:42.09
We do have a
special story of a lady
00:02:42.12\00:02:45.13
that delighted
herself in the Lord.
00:02:45.16\00:02:47.86
I think that was the gem
you found today, wasn't it?
00:02:47.90\00:02:50.33
It was. Sure, it was.
00:02:50.37\00:02:51.70
Awesome.
00:02:51.73\00:02:53.07
I'm gonna tell you
about a very special lady,
00:02:53.10\00:02:55.17
and her name was Hannah.
00:02:55.20\00:02:57.21
And she lived with
Elkanah, her husband,
00:02:57.24\00:03:01.14
and also she lived
with the second wife,
00:03:01.18\00:03:06.35
Peninnah.
00:03:06.38\00:03:07.88
And Peninnah gave Elkanah
lots of sons and daughters.
00:03:07.92\00:03:13.25
But Hannah didn't
have any children.
00:03:13.29\00:03:15.29
And that made her feel so bad.
00:03:15.32\00:03:18.09
And so as they were
getting ready each year
00:03:18.13\00:03:20.50
to go to Shiloh
to worship the Lord,
00:03:20.53\00:03:24.53
Peninnah was
getting everything ready.
00:03:24.57\00:03:26.53
And so she asked if
she needed any help.
00:03:26.57\00:03:32.41
Can I help you, Peninnah?
00:03:32.44\00:03:34.41
"Why would you help me?
00:03:34.44\00:03:36.11
I need help with the children
00:03:36.14\00:03:37.48
and you don't have any children.
00:03:37.51\00:03:40.32
And how could you know
how to handle children?
00:03:40.35\00:03:43.35
You're nothing at all.
You know that. Don't you?
00:03:43.39\00:03:45.99
Well, just go,
go do what you do.
00:03:46.02\00:03:47.99
I don't know what you
do. Just go do what you do.
00:03:48.02\00:03:50.06
I'll take care of the children."
00:03:50.09\00:03:51.43
Every day she was
meaner and meaner to her.
00:03:54.80\00:03:58.53
But at last they
went to the feast.
00:03:58.57\00:04:02.74
But her husband
Elkanah, he went to the temple,
00:04:02.77\00:04:06.94
and there in the
temple were two men,
00:04:06.98\00:04:10.71
and they were evil,
and they were saying,
00:04:10.75\00:04:12.85
"No, I want more money."
00:04:12.88\00:04:14.45
"But I've already given you
00:04:14.48\00:04:15.82
the amount of
money that is needed."
00:04:15.85\00:04:17.82
"Give it to me now!"
00:04:17.85\00:04:21.22
"All right. But
this isn't the right."
00:04:21.26\00:04:22.76
"Give it to me.
Do you want trouble?"
00:04:22.79\00:04:25.16
So they give it to him.
00:04:25.19\00:04:26.70
And so when they
did the sacrifice,
00:04:26.73\00:04:28.90
and he went to take his
portion and give the portion,
00:04:28.93\00:04:32.53
the priest would
get a little bit.
00:04:32.57\00:04:33.90
He said, "No, we
want double the amount.
00:04:33.94\00:04:36.14
We want more."
00:04:36.17\00:04:37.51
"But this is the amount
that you're supposed to have.
00:04:37.54\00:04:40.81
And I need..."
"Give it to me now.
00:04:40.84\00:04:43.71
Are you gonna
give me any trouble?"
00:04:43.75\00:04:46.98
Shake your head. "No."
00:04:47.02\00:04:50.49
And so he took it and
he went back to his family.
00:04:50.52\00:04:54.26
He was very sad
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.99
because there was a
priest and priest Eli.
00:04:57.03\00:05:00.26
And he didn't make his sons mine
00:05:00.30\00:05:02.23
and so his sons
were more and more wicked
00:05:02.26\00:05:04.53
and less and less
people were coming to worship
00:05:04.57\00:05:07.67
because of his wickedness.
00:05:07.70\00:05:10.31
So he came back and he
gave a portion to Peninnah
00:05:10.34\00:05:16.01
and then he gave
some to her sons.
00:05:16.04\00:05:20.52
But, to Hannah,
00:05:20.55\00:05:23.45
he gave her a double portion
00:05:23.49\00:05:26.55
and he handed it to her.
00:05:26.59\00:05:29.42
"Here's your portion,
00:05:29.46\00:05:30.79
and I'm gonna give
you an extra portion."
00:05:30.83\00:05:33.56
But Peninnah was very angry.
00:05:33.60\00:05:36.87
"I don't know why you
give her an extra portion.
00:05:36.90\00:05:39.87
She has done anything anyway.
00:05:39.90\00:05:41.60
She doesn't even
have any children.
00:05:41.64\00:05:42.97
Has she given you any
sons? No, she has not.
00:05:43.00\00:05:46.07
I don't know what
you're even doing here?
00:05:48.08\00:05:51.31
Get out of my sight."
00:05:51.35\00:05:54.58
But Elkanah went after her
and he said, "Why are you sad?
00:05:54.62\00:06:01.29
And why are you hurting?
00:06:01.32\00:06:02.66
Am I not better than 10 sons?"
00:06:02.69\00:06:06.59
And she just cried,
and he came back to feast
00:06:06.63\00:06:09.00
and she ran and she ran
00:06:09.03\00:06:10.47
and she finally
came to the temple.
00:06:10.50\00:06:14.24
Who would hear her but God,
00:06:14.27\00:06:15.90
so she fell down
underneath and she...
00:06:15.94\00:06:18.37
And she was swaying and crying.
00:06:22.21\00:06:25.68
"God, help me.
00:06:25.71\00:06:27.05
Please, please,
if you give me a son,
00:06:27.08\00:06:29.08
I will give him to you
all the days of his life."
00:06:29.12\00:06:32.25
And while she was
going on like that,
00:06:32.29\00:06:35.06
the priest came,
00:06:35.09\00:06:36.69
because there wasn't many people
00:06:36.73\00:06:38.06
that prayed anymore.
00:06:38.09\00:06:39.43
And as he came, and he
stood there and he said,
00:06:39.46\00:06:42.80
"Woman, you are drunk.
00:06:42.83\00:06:46.97
Why do you act like that?
00:06:47.00\00:06:50.44
You should not
be drinking wine."
00:06:50.47\00:06:54.51
She said, "Oh, no, my Lord.
00:06:54.54\00:06:56.51
I have not drank any
wine or strong drink.
00:06:56.54\00:07:00.82
I am very sad in my heart.
00:07:00.85\00:07:03.25
And I was just
asking God for something
00:07:03.28\00:07:06.55
that He would give it to me."
00:07:06.59\00:07:09.06
Then, she couldn't believe.
00:07:09.09\00:07:11.46
He looked at her and he said,
00:07:11.49\00:07:15.06
"May the God of
heaven grant your request."
00:07:15.10\00:07:19.83
And as soon as he said
that, she wiped her tears
00:07:19.87\00:07:23.10
and she believed God
and she went back home.
00:07:25.11\00:07:29.78
Well, about the
time for the next time
00:07:32.28\00:07:36.05
to go to the Passover.
00:07:36.08\00:07:39.29
Elkanah and
Peninnah were getting ready
00:07:39.32\00:07:41.72
and all their children,
00:07:41.76\00:07:43.96
but Hannah said to her husband,
00:07:43.99\00:07:46.19
I would like to stay here,
because I have little Samuel.
00:07:46.23\00:07:51.27
And God has blessed me with him.
00:07:51.30\00:07:54.07
And it's not time for
me to give him to the Lord.
00:07:54.10\00:07:57.21
I'm gonna wait until
00:07:57.24\00:07:58.81
he no longer
needs a baby's milk.
00:07:58.84\00:08:02.34
I will keep him with me
00:08:02.38\00:08:04.55
and teach him all
the days of his life.
00:08:04.58\00:08:06.65
So he was little, and
they went off to the feast
00:08:06.68\00:08:09.42
and they came back.
00:08:09.45\00:08:10.79
And another year
went by and they went off
00:08:10.82\00:08:12.32
and they came back.
00:08:12.35\00:08:13.79
And finally, he no
longer drank the baby's milk,
00:08:13.82\00:08:17.46
and his mother every
day, she sat him at her feet,
00:08:17.49\00:08:22.16
and she read to him.
00:08:22.20\00:08:23.57
She read to him
from the precious gems
00:08:23.60\00:08:26.67
of the Bible.
00:08:26.70\00:08:28.04
And she told him all
about how God loved him
00:08:28.07\00:08:31.57
and how great God was
00:08:31.61\00:08:32.97
and what a
privilege it was to serve Him.
00:08:33.01\00:08:35.34
And she'd say, "Do you
know what Samuel means?"
00:08:35.38\00:08:38.31
Do you know what Samuel means?
Anybody know what Samuel means?
00:08:38.35\00:08:42.82
Because God gave him to me.
00:08:45.05\00:08:47.92
That's pretty
good. Asked of God.
00:08:47.96\00:08:50.99
And so she had asked God
and He had given and she said,
00:08:51.03\00:08:54.60
"I'm gonna give my
best treasure to God."
00:08:54.63\00:08:58.43
Now when God does
something special to you,
00:08:58.47\00:09:00.27
do you just love Him so much
00:09:00.30\00:09:01.70
that you want to
give Him your best back?
00:09:01.74\00:09:04.04
Yeah. Yes.
00:09:04.07\00:09:06.01
And so she taught
him, and then she made him
00:09:06.04\00:09:11.01
a beautiful robe.
00:09:11.05\00:09:12.68
And she put it on him.
00:09:12.71\00:09:14.38
And they took gifts
and they went to see Eli,
00:09:14.42\00:09:17.35
and she hung on to his hand.
00:09:17.39\00:09:20.42
Can you hang on
to my hand? Stand up.
00:09:20.46\00:09:23.73
She hung on to Samuel's hand,
00:09:23.76\00:09:25.96
and they walked
up to the priest.
00:09:25.99\00:09:29.03
And the priest said,
"Yes, may I help you."
00:09:29.06\00:09:32.20
She said, "I
brought you God's gift."
00:09:32.23\00:09:36.57
Now this mother
really loved the Lord,
00:09:36.60\00:09:39.01
because how many
mothers want to take their child
00:09:39.04\00:09:42.81
to somebody where they know
00:09:42.84\00:09:44.65
there's a lot of
wickedness in the place,
00:09:44.68\00:09:47.15
and Hophni and
Phinehas was there,
00:09:47.18\00:09:49.45
and he could learn bad things.
00:09:49.48\00:09:51.25
But she believed God
would protect her Samuel,
00:09:51.29\00:09:53.96
that's how much she loved God.
00:09:53.99\00:09:55.99
And so she said, "Here
is what I had prayed for.
00:09:56.02\00:10:00.76
I prayed for a son.
00:10:00.80\00:10:02.13
And I said, 'If God
would give me a son,
00:10:02.16\00:10:04.50
a precious son, then
I would give it to God
00:10:04.53\00:10:07.64
all the days of his life,'
00:10:07.67\00:10:09.40
that this gift that
God has given me is his.
00:10:09.44\00:10:12.17
I am giving it to him.
I'm giving it back to him.'"
00:10:12.21\00:10:16.71
So the priest Eli
looked and he had not seen
00:10:16.75\00:10:21.68
such great faith,
not in all of Israel.
00:10:21.72\00:10:25.95
And so he took Samuel's
hand and Samuel had been told
00:10:25.99\00:10:29.42
ever since he was
little, you belong to God.
00:10:29.46\00:10:32.29
So do you think he just
cried and cried and said,
00:10:32.33\00:10:34.50
"No, no, Mommy, don't leave me."
00:10:34.53\00:10:37.57
No, he knew that
he belonged to God.
00:10:37.60\00:10:41.04
His mother had told him
that all the days of his life.
00:10:41.07\00:10:43.94
And so, he happily, and so,
he went along with priest Eli.
00:10:43.97\00:10:48.28
Well, he even
though he was little,
00:10:48.31\00:10:50.25
he could do little things.
00:10:50.28\00:10:52.01
And he would take the broom,
00:10:52.05\00:10:53.95
and he would
sweep in the temple,
00:10:53.98\00:10:56.55
and he'd sweep everything up
00:10:56.58\00:10:59.42
and he, then
sometimes he would carry wood.
00:10:59.45\00:11:02.49
And he'd only carry a little bit
00:11:02.52\00:11:04.23
because he couldn't.
00:11:04.26\00:11:05.59
He was just a little boy.
00:11:05.63\00:11:06.96
And he would carry the wood
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.33
and he'd lay up there
by the altar or wherever,
00:11:08.36\00:11:11.00
and he helped all that he could.
00:11:11.03\00:11:14.27
And he got bigger.
00:11:14.30\00:11:15.64
And the next year, his
mother brought him a new robe
00:11:15.67\00:11:17.71
and he got bigger
and bigger and bigger.
00:11:17.74\00:11:19.97
And then, one night he
was sleeping in his tent,
00:11:20.01\00:11:24.88
and he heard a voice,
00:11:24.91\00:11:28.32
"Samuel."
00:11:28.35\00:11:31.55
And Samuel went
running to Eli to wake him up.
00:11:31.59\00:11:35.66
What is it, my son?
00:11:35.69\00:11:37.09
Here I am for you called me.
00:11:40.26\00:11:42.20
I did not call you, my
son. Go, lay down again.
00:11:42.23\00:11:47.70
The second time
he heard the voice,
00:11:47.74\00:11:50.67
"Samuel."
00:11:50.71\00:11:54.91
And Samuel went running again.
00:11:54.94\00:11:56.31
What is it, my son?
00:12:01.25\00:12:04.65
Here I am for you called me.
00:12:04.69\00:12:06.55
No, no, no, no,
I did not call you.
00:12:06.59\00:12:09.42
Go, lay down
again. Go, lay down.
00:12:09.46\00:12:12.19
Good night now.
00:12:12.23\00:12:15.20
Then, he heard the
voice again, "Samuel."
00:12:15.23\00:12:21.07
And Samuel went
running again to priest Eli.
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.44
Oh, my, my. What is it, my son?
00:12:27.34\00:12:30.81
Here I am for you called me.
00:12:30.85\00:12:33.72
Now, listen, my son.
00:12:33.75\00:12:36.05
If you hear the voice again,
00:12:36.08\00:12:38.65
say, "Speak, Lord,
for thy servant heareth."
00:12:38.69\00:12:42.72
Okay? Okay, go, lay down now.
00:12:42.76\00:12:46.96
He heard the voice again
and he did just what Eli said.
00:12:47.00\00:12:50.57
He said, "Speak, Lord,
for your servant heareth."
00:12:50.60\00:12:54.90
And when Samuel got
up the next morning,
00:12:54.94\00:12:58.31
Eli was ready to meet him.
00:12:58.34\00:12:59.81
Samuel, my son,
what did God tell you
00:13:05.11\00:13:09.25
in the dream last night?
00:13:09.28\00:13:12.12
God will judge
you and your sons.
00:13:12.15\00:13:16.22
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
00:13:16.26\00:13:19.39
And Eli accepted that because
though his sons were so evil,
00:13:19.43\00:13:23.57
they could not be in
their priest office anymore.
00:13:23.60\00:13:26.74
Well, boys and girls,
00:13:26.77\00:13:28.10
