Samuel the prophet:the legacy.

All Israel knew Samuel and was conscious of the fact.

Samuel become a great Prophet



=
Although Moses  was the greatest of the Jewish prophets for all time,  Samuel  was the first of a series of leaders who constituted the Era of the Prophets. He was advisor and spiritual counsel to the first Jewish king, Saul , and to his eventual successor, the famous not-yet-King  David. His career was characterized by much fire and brimstone; but given the cataclysmic times in which he lived, G-d  ’s message was often necessarily tough.=====

=
Samuel was the first child of Elkanah and Chanah, a prophet and prophetess who were childless for many years. He was born in the year 931 BCE, and, while still a youth, was apprenticed to the High Priest Eli by his mother, who, when beseeching G-d for a child, made the promise to give him up to the service of G-d.=====

Eli noticed the leadership qualities behind Samuel’s poise and strong-mindedness, and indeed, Samuel was recognized as a leader by much of Jewish society early on, succeeding Eli as the last Judge at the age of 41.=====
