Samuel in the Bible: 1 Samuel 1:1-28
There's a lot packed into this introduction of the prophet Samuel! It's interesting that Samuel's story begins not with Samuel himself, but with the simple faith of his mother. Hannah is a model of faith, praying persistently and patiently for a son and then gratefully giving him up into God's service when her prayer is finally answered.
