Samuel
was the son of Elkanah and Hannah
who had long been barren. Hannah dedicated him
to the Lord as a child and brought him to Eli
the priest. When Samuel was a child, he heard
the voice of the Lord speak to him at the shrine
in Shiloh. As an adult, Samuel played an important
part in uniting the tribes against the growing
threat of the Philistines.
Samuel anointed Saul
as king of Israel, and later went to Bethlehem
anoint David as Saul's
successor.
