Samuel's birth was God's answer to Hannah's prayer for a son. Dedicated to the Lord as a small child, he lived and ministered at Shiloh. When he was a young man, the Lord spoke to him and established him as a prophet. Samuel called the people of Israel to repent and put aside idolatry. During Samuel's lifetime, Israel changed from a collection of tribes ruled by various temporary "judges" to a nation ruled by a king. As the last judge of Israel, Samuel anointed Saul as Israel's first king. When Saul disobeyed God and was rejected as king, Samuel anointed David as his successor. Samuel acted as a faithful judge, prophet, and priest, foreshadowing the work of Christ as king, prophet, and priest (Heb. 1:1-3). (1 Samuel 3:19-21)
