Samuel's ministry set the stage for the prophetic tradition that would follow, emphasizing obedience to God and the anticipation of a future messianic kingdom.<p><b>as many as have spoken</b><br>This phrase underscores the collective testimony of the prophets. It suggests that the prophetic messages were not isolated or random but part of a unified divine revelation.
