Hannah's Passage

Samuel changed as he went along his journey. He became a leader, he had hunted for food for his family but that didn’t make him as much of a leader as he would become. He ate at a family’s house for dinner one night, and Hessian came and killed the family except a girl named Annie who was younger than him. She went with Samuel since he was the only person she knew, for example later in the book she says “He is all I got” (123). Samuel was a leader

Although 1 Samuel narrates the transition from theocracy, the judge, Samuel to a monarchial nation of Israel, the narrator reminds that Yahweh was already their mighty king and who had also proven himself trustworthy and also quite capable of calling out charismatic judges to lead the people in times of emergency after all he is the God. The Israel nation was God’s chosen people and under God’s care and divine kingship. In Samuel 7 we see obedience of Israel to God’s appointed judge, Samuel, that favored God’s deliverance of Israel from the hands of Philistines. There is no doubt Israel had not seen and experienced ultimate power of deliverance.

In Samuel's early life he was born into a strong religious family Samuel’s dad was a brewer who was into local politics as a full grown male he would change the future. As a little boy he studied greek and the latin language.At only age 14 he was exeptied into harverd and graduated 1740. After graduation he was still was undecided about what to do for his career. For several years after he was still struggling about what career path. Samuel did not want to work for his dad so he had a loan of money to start his own business. Samuel did not manage his money and ended up working for his dad.After his first wife died in 1757, he married Elizabeth Wells in 1764. Adam's second wife turned out to be a good manager. His luck had changed, for he was about to move into a political circle that would offer political opportunities unlike any in his past.

1 Samuel 1:5-17 is about Elkanah’s wife Hannah could not bear child. In the past, woman who can not pregnant will be think as cursed by God. In addition to Hannah (1 Sam 1:1-2:21), several other women are childless: Sarah (Gen 11:29-30; Rebekah (Gen 25:20-34; 26:34-27:45), Rachel (Gen 29:15-30:24), Samson’s ,)21:1-8 ;16:1-18:15 mother (Judg 13:2-25), the Shunammite woman (2 Kgs 4:8-37),and the woman in Ezra’s vision (2 Esdr These women

The female individual is Hannah. Her story is from 1 Samuel 1. She was married to a man who had two wives. The other wife Peninnah often shamed Hannah as she had no children. Hannah brought this matter to God and had prayed earnestly, promising to offer her son to serve the Lord. God answered her prayer, and Hannah did give her first child to the Lord all the days of his life. This child became one of the greatest prophets in Israel. His name is Samuel.

It is not engraved in according to the penmanship of Samuel. The author of this book is uncertain, even though, it endures the name of Samuel through the twenty-fifth chapter with the title. Samuel name appears as a result of his own time, and it could be a possibility, he wrote a portion of the history doing his time. Matthew Henry poses that some of the prophets that were amongst David’s reign continued the writings. There has been consideration that Nathan could have written some of it as

After reading the story, it is clear that Samuel’s issues are emotional, cognitive and physical. His emotional issues are in reference to him dealing with the death of his wife. His cognitive issues are in reference to him losing his job after being there for 45 years and physical issues which have to do with him learning how to cope with everything that happened to him. The story showed us that Samuel still has the support of his family and his church community, but that is not enough to help him maintain his balance. He seemed to have some hope after losing his wife, but losing his job and finding out his investments are at risk is too much for him to handle. He has lived long enough to know what could happen to someone who has no means

Hannah gives birth to a boy, Samuel, and promises to raise him in subservience to God. She sends him to live at the temple with Eli, a priest, and his sons. Samuel grows to be a follower of God, but Eli’s sons become corrupt. At the time, being a religious leader brought power, fame and wealth. Eli was aware of the corruption within his sons, yet he refused to acknowledge it much as it may have interfered with his position of power. Not wanting to jeprodize his position of power, Eli did not intervene and God saw this as a lack of fear and respect, creating a

The canticle of Hannah for the birth of Samuel is very similar to Mary’s canticle for the birth of Jesus. If you think about it, Mary and Hannah have faced the same obstacles, but in a different time periods. They were both willing to give God their son and allow their son to do whatever God asked of him. I find this pretty incredible, knowing that God is basically doing the same story line (God comes to the woman, the woman agrees to Gods plan, and soon becomes the mother of a legend) in a different time period. God really does know what he is doing and sometimes we just need to take a step back and realize how AWESOME he really is.

The Bible says that Hannah was in bitterness of soul and wept sore (I Samuel 1:10). Hannah became depressed and full of sorrow to the point of desperation and anguish. Out of a wounded heart, Hannah begins to pray with so much passion to God that when the priest Eli says to her he thought she was drunk. Hannah prayed so much from her heart that her lips did not move. Eli said unto her “how long wilt thou be drunken?” “Put away thy wine from thee (I Samuel 1:13 – 14) Hannah in formed the priest that she had not drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but had poured out her soul before the Lord. The priest Eli saw how sincere she was that he pronounced a blessing upon Hannah. Eli assured her that God had granted her petition. Afterward Hannah returned home and shared the good news with her husband. Elkanah and Hannah rose up early, worshipped before the Lord, returned to their house to begin the conception process. During her time of prayer Hannah made a vow that if she was granted a son; she vowed to offer him back to God. Hannah conceived and bore a son whose name was Samuel. She kept her promise. After she weaned the child, Hannah brought the baby Samuel to Eli the priest. There the story of Samuel began as a judge

The book of 1 Samuel, a part of the Old Testament, sparks the dawn of the United Kingdom of Israel by telling of its first king, Saul. Samuel is one of the first talked about pre-literary prophets in the bible perhaps because he anointed the first king of the United Kingdom. He is a prophet by definition because he possessed the ability to converse with the almighty Yahweh. Samuel and Saul are key players to the rise of the kingdom but Saul runs into trouble and disobeys God, which leads him to his own inevitable demise.

The passage of I Samuel can be looked at in many perspectives and some can open a window into what the early Hebrew people’s lives were like. The first thing someone must do to get information from a text is to ask questions. Examples of important questions historians might ask about I Samuel would include: Why are the Hebrew people unhappy without a king? Why does Samuel believe a king is a bad idea? Why does the Hebrew God allow them to have a king?

When Saul and his servant came across Prophet Samuel’s path they caught each other’s attention. The

portrays Jesus as Our King. The major theme is the kingdom established. David, Joab, Bathsheba, Nathan, and Absalom are the major personalities. 2 Samuel primarily records the reign of David as king over Judah and over all Israel, but other recordings of his reign are continued in other historical books. David was a musician and psalmist. His songs are recorded the Book of Psalms. Israel was blessed, except when David sinned. His household suffered as well. David repented, but

God told Samuel to locate the right person to be Israel’s first king. Well, he looked at a lot of people; God guiding him all the time. And finally he selected Saul. Saul was just a boy, but he was a tall, striking and modest young man.
