We dig into the lives of key figures such as Samuel, the last judge and prophet, whose anointing of Israel's first king sets the stage for monumental change; Saul, whose tragic disobedience marks his downfall; and David, the humble shepherd destined for greatness. You'll also hear about pivotal characters like the faithful Hannah, the aged priest Eli, and the loyal Jonathan.
