Who am I ?
1. His mother named him Samuel “asked of the Lord”. 1:20 (Holy Spirit to them that ASK: Lk11:13)

U.R. a new name, 'Sam'. Like Johnson, Davidson, Samson, etc., and the Norwegian practice of adding "son" to their father's first name.
Samson had a riddle, Judg14:14, about honey from a lion, and that's what we get when we "taste and see how the Lord is good", Ps34:8.

Samuel was a Prophet who began as a baby.. and after he was weaned, he was told to Speak! Like maybe in tongues?

That's what the disciples thought, when they saw him at sea. But aren't we warned away from such things?
