Samuel
The last judge of Israel and a pivotal prophet who anointed Saul and David as the nation's first kings.
Samuel served as a bridge between the era of the judges and the monarchy, acting as a faithful priest, prophet, and judge. Born to Hannah, he was dedicated to the Lord's service at Shiloh and became a voice of divine authority during a period of spiritual decline. His ministry was defined by his commitment to hearing God's word and his role in establishing the Davidic line of kings.
