Page 1 / 3 (Num 34:20–1Sa 10:9)
Samuel served in the LORD’s presence — this mere boy was dressed in the linen ephod.
The LORD paid attention to Hannah’s need, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
By contrast, the boy Samuel grew in stature and in favor with the LORD and with people.
The boy Samuel served the LORD in Eli’s presence. In those days the word of the LORD was rare and prophetic visions were not widespread.
Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located.
Once again the LORD called, “Samuel! ”
Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; you called me.”
“I didn’t call, my son,” he replied. “Go back and lie down.”
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, because the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.
Once again, for the third time, the LORD called Samuel. He got up, went to Eli, and said, “Here I am; you called me.”
Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the boy.
He told Samuel, “Go and lie down. If he calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
The LORD came, stood there, and called as before, “Samuel, Samuel! ”
Samuel responded, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
The LORD said to Samuel, “I am about to do something in Israel that will cause everyone who hears about it to shudder.[fn]
Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the LORD’s house. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,
So Samuel told him everything and did not hide anything from him. Eli responded, “He is the LORD. Let him do what he thinks is good.”
Samuel grew. The LORD was with him, and he fulfilled everything Samuel prophesied.[fn]
All Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was a confirmed prophet of the LORD.
The LORD continued to appear in Shiloh, because there he revealed himself to Samuel by his word.
And Samuel’s words came to all Israel.
Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and[fn] camped at Ebenezer while the Philistines camped at Aphek.
Samuel told them, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, get rid of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths that are among you, set your hearts on the LORD, and worship only him. Then he will rescue you from the Philistines.”
Samuel said, “Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD on your behalf.”
When they gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out in the LORD’s presence. They fasted that day, and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.
The Israelites said to Samuel, “Don’t stop crying out to the LORD our God for us, so that he will save us from the Philistines.”
Then Samuel took a young lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. He cried out to the LORD on behalf of Israel, and the LORD answered him.
Samuel was offering the burnt offering as the Philistines approached to fight against Israel. The LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines that day and threw them into such confusion that they were defeated by Israel.
Afterward, Samuel took a stone and set it upright between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,[fn] explaining, “The LORD has helped us to this point.”
So the Philistines were subdued and[fn] did not invade Israel’s territory again. The LORD’s hand was against the Philistines all of Samuel’s life.
When they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” Samuel considered their demand wrong, so he prayed to the LORD.
But the LORD told him, “Listen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected me as their king.
The people refused to listen to Samuel. “No! ” they said. “We must have a king over us.
“Listen to them,” the LORD told Samuel. “Appoint a king for them.”
Then Samuel told the men of Israel, “Each of you, go back to your city.”
So they went up toward the city.
Saul and his servant were entering the city when they saw Samuel coming toward them on his way to the high place.
When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man I told you about; he will govern my people.”
Saul approached Samuel in the city gate and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is? ”
“I am the seer,” Samuel answered.[fn] “Go up ahead of me to the high place and eat with me today. When I send you off in the morning, I’ll tell you everything that’s in your heart.
Samuel took Saul and his servant, brought them to the banquet hall, and gave them a place at the head of the thirty[fn] or so men who had been invited.
Then Samuel said to the cook, “Get the portion of meat that I gave you and told you to set aside.”
The cook picked up the thigh and what was attached to it and set it before Saul. Then Samuel said, “Notice that the reserved piece is set before you. Eat it because it was saved for you for this solemn event at the time I said, ‘I’ve invited the people.’ ” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
They got up early, and just before dawn, Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get up, and I’ll send you on your way! ” Saul got up, and both he and Samuel went outside.
As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I’ll reveal the word of God to you.” So the servant went on.
Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it out on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Hasn’t the LORD anointed you ruler over his inheritance?[fn]
