1 Samuel 3 - 4
1 SamuelSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses 1 Samuel 3-4, in which Samuel is called by God at a young age and becomes a prophet. The early Israelites had abandoned the hereditary priesthood, and the surviving priests were corrupt, leading to a lack of widespread revelation. Samuel grew to become a credentialed prophet, and his prophecies helped to rally the Israelites against the Philistines. The Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines in a battle that resulted in the deaths of 4,000 Israelites.
