who played a very important role. Samuel's position is the first and last judge in Israel's history. Judges were usually engaged in their work as commoners,
A person who becomes a leader when something big happens to the country, that is, a person who takes on the role of a leader only in times of crisis rather than a regular leader, is called Sasa.
The reason there are judges is because God is king. God is always in control, and we usually live the same life, but we need a central point,
When a crisis strikes, we have to unite around one person, and the person who came out at that time was Sasa. So most of the time he is a military leader in war, and in peacetime
When the time came, he did not completely return to the common people, but because of his influence, he was a person who took charge of judgment among people or provided religious education and exhortation.

He moves and answers the prayers of his children.
2. I made a vow and prayed
◆ 1 Samuel 1:11
"And he made a vow, saying, O LORD of hosts, if you will look on your maidservant's affliction and remember me and do not forget your maidservant and give her a son, then I will
I will give him to the LORD, and I will not put a razor on his head."
◆ Psalm 15:4-5 "His eyes despise the false, and those who fear the LORD
He is honorable, and the one who vows in his heart is harmful, but does not change, does not pay interest, accepts a bribe, and does not harm the innocent.
He will never be shaken."
Hannah prayed and asked for a son, and at the end she prayed like this. At the end of verse 11, “a son

Please." He prayed more and more and said, "I will dedicate this son to you. I will raise this child for God's sake." So the prayer changes.
While praying from the standpoint of fulfilling desires, she now gains an eye to discern God's will, and Hannah's prayer itself changes. Change your purpose in life by praying
