Samuel, in fact, plays different roles on behalf of Israel: intercessor, priest, governing judge, guide (covenant keeper). He is also defined, even if not explicitly, nazir (1 Sam 1:11). His unique role in the history of Israel is that of kingmaker. At the end of the \u201cchildhood cycle\u201d Samuel is presented explicitly as \u201cprophet\u201d by the narrator with a remark outside the story line. This presentation makes the character of Samuel similar to that of Moses. Few times the biblical tradition refers to the character of Samuel (1 Chr 6:12-13; 9:22; 11:13; 29:29; Ps 99:6; Jer 15:1; Sir 46:13-20; Acts 3:24; 13:20b-23; Heb 11:32b). The OT tradition highlights two different interpretative lines: the association with David, and the role of kingmaker, and the association with Moses, and the role of intercessor. The NT tradition also recalls the character of Samuel between David and Moses. Each reference to Samuel shows that the biblical tradition has caught the uniqueness of this character in the narrated history of Israel and his importance in the History of Salvation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b08a9df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b08a9df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-249b6762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"249b6762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords:<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-458e37f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"458e37f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-keywords\">\n  <div class=\"kw-inline\">\n    Samuel, Moses, David, Old Testament tradition, New Testament tradition\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n  .article-keywords {\n    margin-top: 0.5rem;
