The Right Response To The Mean Girl

So Peninnah would taunt Hannah and make fun of her because the LORD had kept her from having children.

1 Samuel 1:6

My Takeaways

Something Old

Other translations

  • [This embarrassed and grieved Hannah] and her rival provoked her greatly to vex her, because the LORD had left her childless. So it was year after year; whenever Hannah went up to the LORD’s house, Peninnah provoked her, so she wept and did not eat.
    1 Samuel 1:6 (AMPC)
  • But her rival wife taunted her cruelly, rubbing it in and never letting her forget that God had not given her children. This went on year after year. Every time she went to the sanctuary of God she could expect to be taunted. Hannah was reduced to tears and had no appetite.
    1 Samuel 1:6 (MSG)
  • Peninnah liked to make Hannah feel miserable about not having any children. especially when the family went to the house of the LORD each year.
    1 Samuel 1:6 (CEV)‍
  • Peninnah made matters worse by taunting Hannah because of her barrenness. Every year it was the same—Peninnah scoffing and laughing at her as they went to Shiloh, making her cry so much she couldn’t eat.
    1 Samuel 1:6 (TLB)

Taunt: to reproach in a sarcastic, insulting, or jeering manner; mock

The right response to the person who keeps treating you wrong is to:

  • Keep worshiping.
  • Keep sacrificing.
  • Keep praying.
  • Keep living right.

And know that

  • The taunting might not stop.
  • God has got you.
