Samuel is a figure who, in the religious texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, plays a key role in the narrative of the Hebrew Bible. In these texts, Samuel is portrayed as a prophet, judge, and leader of ancient Israel. His story is primarily found in the Books of Samuel in the Old Testament.

Early Life

Samuel was the son of Elkanah and Hannah, and he was born in answer to Hannah's prayers (Prayer). As a child, he was dedicated to the service of God at the sanctuary in Shiloh, where he was brought up by the priest Eli (Eli).

Role as Prophet

Samuel is recognized as a prophet (Prophet) in all Abrahamic religions. He is known for anointing Saul (Saul) as the first King of Israel, and later David (David) as Saul's successor.

Role as Judge

In addition to his role as a prophet, Samuel also served as a judge (Judge) of Israel. He led the people of Israel both spiritually and in their conflicts with the surrounding nations.

Death and Legacy

Samuel's death is described in the Bible. He was buried in Ramah, and he continued to be venerated as a prophet by subsequent generations.
