📚 Historical Context
In the biblical era of the judges, Shiloh was the central site for Israel's worship, where the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant were located, serving as a key spiritual hub before the establishment of the monarchy. Young Samuel, who had been dedicated to God by his mother Hannah, was living and serving there under the priest Eli when God first spoke to him in a vision, marking the beginning of his prophetic role. This event underscores God's pattern of revealing Himself to faithful individuals during times of spiritual decline in Israel.
