1. Today we read the opening section of [The Book Of] First Samuel. [The Book Of] Ruth is located in our Bibles right before that. I'll spare you a detailed explanation, but in the [original] Hebrew Bible [The Book Of] Judges actually comes right before First Samuel. The end of Judges concludes as follows, In those days, there was no king in Israel and they did what they considered right from person to person in their own eyes, (Judges 21:25). This is the setting to the narrative we read for today. People were living by their own individual standards.

Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”. Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
