Surprise of the Day

Samuel’s family was musical.

I Samuel 1:1-2 – I Samuel 1:10-11 – I Samuel 8:1-2 – I Chronicles 6:25-48

Fact Of the Day 

When Samuel’s barren future mother, Hannah, prayed for a son, she made a vow and “sang” [Hebrew] it to the Lord (as did David later on).  Samuel’s son, Joel, was rebellious, but Joel’s son was a good priest.  One of Samuel’s grandsons was “Heman the singer” in Temple worship, as were all his musical descendants after that.
