Samuel's Birth and Calling

Samuel was born during a time of great turmoil and spiritual decline in Israel. The people had turned away from God and were suffering under the oppression of the Philistines. Samuel's mother, Hannah, was a devout woman who had long prayed for a child. When Samuel was born, she dedicated him to the Lord and brought him to the tabernacle in Shiloh to serve as a priest.

From a young age, Samuel showed signs of God's favor and anointing. He was a wise and discerning child, and he quickly became known as a prophet. At the age of 12, Samuel had a vision in which God called him to be a prophet to the nation of Israel.
