In the Bible, Peninnah was Elkannah's jealous other wife. She was jealous because though she gave birth to Elkannah's children, she never was the receiver of his heart like Hannah was; who was actually sterile. She treated Hannah with disdain. Peninnah being the pain she was, drove Hannah to prayer. The amazing thing is that in 1 Samuel 2:3, Hannah did not have to get even with Peninnah. She knew God, who knows all and sees all, would judge all sin and pride. She left judgment up to God. Resist the temptation to take justice into your own hands. God got you! God will weigh your deeds as well as those who have wronged you. So the next time a "Peninnah" comes your way and tries to crush your spirit, look it straight in the face and say "God is in control! Peninnah...MOVE!!!" Have a blessed day :)
1 Samuel 2:3 - "Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows, and by Him deeds are weighed."
