1 Samuel 1-7 focuses on Samuel. This book relates that when Israel’s leaders were unfaithful God raised up new leaders for the people. A priest named Eli had faithless and immoral sons. Samuel was born to a woman named Hannah, who had long been childless, and Samuel became Eli’s assistant. One night God told Samuel that Eli’s family would be condemned because of their corruption. Eli’s sons were killed in battle and Eli himself fell and died when he heard of the defeat. When Samuel grew older, he rallied the Israelites for victory against the Philistines.
