    Tried a second time to post on the "welcome" thread but there is a message in fine print, in the lower right hand corner of the screen. The message says that I have "insufficient privileges to reply" for that thread.

    So I'll post a welcome here.


    Hi there, Song Of Hannah.

    Nice to see you here. :) Glad to have you on the forum. I hope that you'll draw encouragement from others on the forum.

    Welcome, Song of Hannah.

    Hannah: Mother of Samuel, her first born from an answer to her song/prayer to Jehovah.

    SAMUEL: Personal name in the Ancient Near East meaning, “Sumu is God” but understood in Israel as “The name is God,” “God is exalted,” or “son of God.” The last judge, first king-maker, priest, and prophet who linked the period of the judges with the monarchy (about 1066-1000 B.C.). Born in answer to barren Hannah's tearful prayer (1 Samuel 1:10), Samuel was dedicated to the Lord before his birth (1 Samuel 1:11) as a “loan” for all his life (1 Samuel 1:28; 1 Samuel 2:20). Eli raised Samuel at the Shiloh sanctuary (1 Samuel 2:11). As a child, Samuel grew “both in stature and in favor with the Lord and with men” (1 Samuel 2:26 NAS; compare Luke 2:52). Samuel met God and received his first prophetic mission as a young lad (1 Samuel 3:1,1 Samuel 3:11-14). God's initial word to Samuel concerned God's rejection of Eli's family from service as priests as punishment for the sins of Eli's sons. (Holman Bible Dictionary)
