Line 8: [[File:Ernst Josephson. - David och Saul.JPG\|thumb\|[[Ernst Josephson]], ''David and Saul'', 1878.]] The childless [[Hannah (biblical figure)\|Hannah]] vows to [[Yahweh\|Yahweh of hosts]] that if she has a son, he will be dedicated to him. [[Eli (Bible)\|Eli]], the priest of [[Shiloh (biblical city)\|Shiloh]] (where the [[Ark of the Covenant]] is located), blesses her, and a child named [[Samuel (Bible)\|Samuel]] is born. Samuel is dedicated to the Lord as a [[Nazirite]] – the only one besides [[Samson]] ~~and John the Baptist~~ to be identified in the Bible. Eli's sons, [[Hophni and Phinehas]], sin against God's laws and the people, which cause them to die in the [[battle of Aphek]], but the child Samuel grows up "in the presence of the Lord." The [[Philistines]] [[Philistine captivity of the Ark\|capture the Ark of the Covenant]] from Shiloh and take it to the temple of their god [[Dagon]], who recognizes the supremacy of Yahweh. The Philistines are afflicted with plagues and return the ark to the Israelites, but to the territory of the [[tribe of Benjamin]] rather than to Shiloh. The Philistines attack the Israelites gathered at [[Mizpah in Gilead (Judges)\|Mizpah]] in Benjamin. Samuel appeals to Yahweh, the Philistines are decisively beaten, and the Israelites reclaim their lost territory.
