ARTICLES RELATED TO Samuel | | | |  Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel - Samuel's sonsSamuel had made his sons judges in Beersheba, but they were corrupt and self-serving. The elders, anticipating danger to Israel from these misusers of Samuel's authority, and being threatened with invasion from the Ammonites, demanded that a king should be set over them. This request was very displeasing to Samuel. He remonstrated with them, and warned them of the consequences of such a step (again, see 1 Sam. 8). At length, however, referring the matter to God, he acceded to their desires, and anointed Saul to be their king (11:15). Before ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel - Twenty years after
This was a great epoch in the history of Israel. For twenty years after this fatal battle at Aphek the whole land lay under the oppression of the Philistines. During all these dreary years Samuel was a spiritual power in the land. From Ramah, his native place, where he resided, his influence went forth on every side among the people. With unwearied zeal he went up and down from place to place, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting the people, endeavouring to awaken in them a sense of thei ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel - Jewish commonwealth He established regular services at Shiloh, where he built an altar; and at Ramah he gathered a company of young men around him and established a school of the prophets. The schools of the prophets, thus originated, and afterwards established also at Gibeah, Bethel, Gilgal, and Jericho, exercised an important influence on the national character and history of the people in maintaining pure religion in the midst of growing corruption. They co ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel - Name The literal translation of Samuel is Name of God. However, owing to the etymology given in 1 Samuel 1:20, where Hannah names her son in memory of her requesting a child from God and God listening, there have been many other convoluted etymologies given. The most frequent, and traditional, of these is Heard of God, seen as a reference to God hearing Hannah's plea.
In contrast to this, critical scholars believe that 1 Samuel 1:20 originally described Saul, a later editor substituting Samuel's name, in order to avoid ...

Many would call him a genius, but also an eccentric, sometimes close to insanity. He was very successful in various fields of knowledge; zoologist, botanist, malacologist, meteorologist, writer, evolutionist, polyglot, translator. He wrote prolifically on such diverse topics as anthropology, biology, geology, and linguistics; but was honored in none during his lifetime. ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel of Nehardea - As Gaon Rab at Sura and Mar Samuel at Nehardea established the intellectual independence of Babylonian Jewry. Young men taking up the study of the Law there were no longer obliged to go to Palestine, since they had the foremost teachers at home. Babylon now came to be regarded, in a sense, as a second Holy Land. Samuel taught, "As it is forbidden to migrate from Palestine to Babylon, so is it forbidden to migrate from Babylon to other countries" (Ket. 111a). After Rab's death no new director was elected, and Rab's greatest pupil, R. Huna, who became ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Books of Samuel - Authorship Traditionally, the authors of the books of Samuel have been held to be Samuel, Gad, and Nathan. Samuel is believed to have penned the first twenty-four chapters of the first book. Gad, the companion of David (1 Sam. 22:5), is believed to have continued the history thus commenced; and Nathan is believed to have completed it, probably arranging the whole in the form in which we now have it (1 Chronicles 29:29).
However, this theory is not supported by most modern scholars, who consider that the text is clearly not the work of men contem ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel Vimes - Character Sam Vimes is the Commander of the City Watch, the burgeoning police force of the Discworld's largest city, Ankh-Morpork. His rise from drink-sodden, hopeless street copper to respected member of the aristocracy, and the growth and development of the Watch under his command, have together been one of the major threads of the Discworld series. Born into poverty, he is now a highly reluctant member of the nobility; both a knight and a duke, and married to Sybil Ramkin, the richest heiress in the city. If one could sum Sam Vimes up in a s ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel Vimes - Background Sam Vimes was born in Cockbill Street, in the Rimwards part of the Shades, the poorest area of Ankh-Morpork. It was so poor that there was little crime, though Sam was part of a street gang (The Cockbill Street Roaring Lads) with Lupine Wonse (later secretary to Lord Vetinari). At school he was once blackboard monitor for a whole term (An honour his mother paid for, unknown to him at the time).
Sam's grandfather's name was Gwilliam and his father's name was Thomas. His mother told the young Sam that Thomas was run down by a cart, but this was apparently untrue. Whatever happened t ...

Later on, the Night Watch under Vimes took on extra staff in the form of a werewolf, a dwarf and a troll. They were instrumental in foiling an attempt on the Patrician's life, and were rewarded. The Watch was rapidly revi ...

| | | | Samuel: Encyclopedia II - Samuel of Nehardea - His Halakha Mar Samuel was very modest in his associations with others, openly honoring any one from whom he had gained any knowledge (Baba Metzia 33a). He never obstinately insisted on his own opinion, but yielded as soon as he was convinced of being in error ('Eruvin 90a, b; Ḥul. 76b; Ber. 36a). He was friendly to all men, and declared: "It is forbidden to deceive any man, be he Jew or pagan" (Ḥul. 94a). "Before the throne of the Creator there is no difference between Jews and pagans, since there are many noble and virtuous among the latter" (Yer. ...
