📚 Historical Context

Samuel was the last of Israel's judges before the monarchy began, serving during a transitional period around 1100-1020 BC. As a judge, he functioned as both a spiritual leader and civil authority, settling disputes, leading worship, and guiding the nation. His lifetime of service bridged the gap between the chaotic period of the judges and the establishment of Israel's first kings.
