The last judge and the prophet who anoints both of Israel's first two kings (1 Samuel 1:20). Josephus picks up his story as a general leading Israel against the Philistines, prophet and military leader in one, the same combination that makes his later confrontations with Saul so charged.
Samuel was the last of Israel's judges and its first great prophet, born to Elkanah and Hannah after Hannah prayed for a son and dedicated him to the Lord's service before he was even conceived. He anointed Israel's first two kings, Saul and then David, and spent his final years as the nation's conscience, rebuking Saul for disobedience so sharply that the two men never met again. He had two sons of his own, Joel and Abijah, whose corruption as judges is what pushed Israel to demand a king in the first place.
