| Summary | "The World English Bible (WEB): 1 Samuel" by Anonymous is a biblical text that belongs to the Old Testament, likely written in the early centuries BCE. This book narrates the significant events in the life of the prophet Samuel, the establishment of the Israelite monarchy, and the contrasting reigns of Saul and David, highlighting the complexities of faith, divine election, and leadership in ancient Israel. The opening of "1 Samuel" introduces us to the central character Elkanah, a man from the hill country of Ephraim, who has two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Despite Peninnah’s fertility, Hannah is childless, leading to her deep sorrow and fervent prayers for a son. Hannah's heartfelt plea culminates in a vow to dedicate her child to God if her request is fulfilled. Eventually, her prayer is answered with the birth of Samuel, whom she dedicates to the Lord's service. This sets the stage for the unfolding drama of Samuel's life, his role as a prophet, and the significant transitions in Israel’s leadership. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
