Facts

Samuel was a prophet and the last judge of Israel; he anointed both Saul and David as kings over Israel.

Samuel was born to Elkanah and Hannah in the town of Ramah.
Hannah was barren, but Samuel was born as an answer to Hannah's desperate prayer that God would give her a male child.
In Hannah's prayer, she promised God that she would dedicate her son to the Lord.
When Samuel was a young boy, Hannah sent him to help Eli the priest in the temple as she had promised in her prayer.
