Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:20

Theological / Devotional

Samuel. The name means “heard of God,” and like other personal names in the Bible, it was full of significance. “Samuel” was a memorial of her request to the Lord, a reminder of her pledge, and a recognition of God’s approval. Time was to demonstrate the truth of all this. From his earliest childhood Samuel recognized that he was the servant of the Lord.
