Ruth 4:22      1 Sam. 1:2

First Samuel 1:1

There was a man from Ramathaim-Zophim, from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah [meaning: "God has created"],
the son of Jeroham,
the son of Eliho [Eliel, see 1 Chron. 6:34],
the son of Tohu [Toah, see 1 Chron. 6:34],
the son of Zoph,
an Ephraimite.
[Ramatajim means "two hills" and Ramatajim-Tsofim is believed to be Arimathea, 25 km west of Shiloh. Later it is mentioned that Samuel's hometown is Rama, see verse 19.]
