WEEKLY BIBLECOMMENT
SAMUEL: A CHILD OF PRAYER
- WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
In the story of Samuel, the child
n in answer to his mother’s
/nest prayer and dedicated to
¢ service of God, there are some
ements, that are seldom, if ever,
entioned.
I like to think, for instance, of
hanah, Samuel’s father, and the
usband of Hannah. I have never
jown a man called Elkanah,
ough many men have been
lled by less honorable Bibical
mes.
Elkanah stands as a conspicuous
cample of the good husband and
evoted lover. According to the
stom of the time he had two
ives. When childless Hannah
as disconsolate because of the
proach and ill treatment of the
ner wife, who had children, |
|hanah, finding her weeping and
ot eating, said to her: “Why is
v heart grieved? Am not I bet
» to thee than ten sons?””
gurely there spoke the voice of
e love. What Joy, therefore
hen Hannah's prayers for a child
ere answered with the birth of
.muel. Hannah made good her
ow, and the child in the temple,
wving the High Prist Eli, began
great career as High Priest,
rophet, and leader in Israel.
The time were difficult, calling
- a leader of strength.( courage,
nd of high integrity. Eli was not
n examplary father and his sons
ad grown up in unrestrained
vil, bringing corruption and li
antiousness into the very offices
¢ religion. The establishment of
i chteousness, and the purging of
vil, was absent from the very
mple itself.
Moreover, the times were of
eat danger, and Samuel came to
adership in an hour of over
helming disaster for Israel. The
ns of Eli were both killed in
attle as the Philistines complete
- routed the armies of Israel. Eli
‘ed when he learned of his sons’
eath.
How Samuel rallied Israel, and
rested victory from defeat is told
gamuel 7, with the incident es
blishing the symbol, Ebenezer,
nd the saying, “Hitherto hath the
ord helped us.”
Unfortunately, Samuel’'s sons
llowed in the corrupt ways of

the sons of Eli. Angered, the peo
ple demanded a new king. Dis
hearted by this virtual rejection
at the end of a great career,
Samuel acceded to their demands,
and Saul became king.
But the life and work of Samuel
as leader in Israel were unsullied
by any unworthiness. He was a
true priest, an honest prophet, and
a fearless and courageous leader.
He gave evidence of a vigor and
intensity in action of which the
gentle life of the child in the tem
ple gave little suggestion.
