Samuel, the Boy Prophet

Overview

There was a barren woman in Israel named Anna whose greatest desire was to have a child. One day, going to the temple, she asked the Lord to give her a baby and promised him that when she was born, she would give him to live in the temple, serving the Lord throughout her life. The boy was Samuel. For always being obedient, Samuel was chosen by God as priest, judge and prophet of the people of Israel.
