'''Samuel''' (Hebrew: שְׁמוּאֵל, pronunced "Shmu'el") is a major [[prophet]] in the [[Bible]]. Given as a gift to serve God when God answerd the prayers of his mother to allow her to become pregnant, Samuel served in the temple under [[Eli]] and heard God call him.  God had to call him several times as each time Samuel would go to Eli, not realizing it was God.

Samuel marks the transition from the time of the judges to the time of Kings. Samuel annoints [[Saul]] as king and later designates [[David]] as the next king. Samuel's deeds are described in the book of [[I Samuel]].  Samuel did not write the books that bare his name.
