Editing Samuel (section)

===Name===
According to 1 Samuel 1:20,<ref>{{bibleverse|1|Samuel|1:20|HE}}</ref> Hannah named Samuel to commemorate her prayer to [[God]] for a child. "... [She] called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord" (KJV). From its appearance, the name Samuel ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew:]] שְׁמוּאֵל ''Šəmūʾēl'', [[Tiberian Hebrew|Tiberian:]] ''Šămūʾēl'') appears to be constructed from the Hebrew Śāmū (שָׂמוּ)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/samu_7760.htm|title=Hebrew Concordance: śā·mū -- 14 Occurrences|website=biblehub.com}}</ref> + ʾĒl,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/410.htm|title=Strong's Hebrew: 410. אֵל (el) -- God, in pl. gods|website=biblehub.com}}</ref> meaning "God has set" or "God has placed". This meaning relating to the idea of God setting/placing a child in the womb, alongside [[Hannah (biblical figure)|Hannah]] dedicating Samuel as a [[Nazirite]] to God. The Hebrew śāmū is also related to the [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] šâmū (𒊮𒈬), which shares the same meaning.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Akkadian Dictionary: Šiāmu/Šâmu |url=https://www.assyrianlanguages.org/akkadian/dosearch.php?searchkey=%C5%A1i%C4%81mu&language=rawakkadian |website=Assyrianlanguages.org}}</ref> From the explanation given in [[1 Samuel 1|1 Samuel 1:20]], however, it would seem to come from a contraction of the Hebrew שְׁאִלְתִּיו מֵאֵל ([[Modern Hebrew|Modern:]] ''Šəʾīltīv mēʾĒl,'' [[Tiberian Hebrew|Tiberian:]] ''Šĭʾīltīw mēʾĒl''), meaning "I have asked/borrowed him from God".<ref>{{Cite web |title=I Samuel 1:20 |url=https://www.sefaria.org/I_Samuel.1.20?with=all&lang=bi |website=Sefaria}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Radak on Genesis 5:29:1 |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Radak_on_Genesis.5.29?lang=bi |website=Sefaria}}</ref> Further shortened to שָׁאוּל מֵאֵל (''Šāʾūl mēʾĒl, "asked/borrowed from God"''),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/7592.htm|title=Strong's Hebrew: 7592. שָׁאַל (shaal) -- to ask, inquire|website=biblehub.com}}</ref> then finally contracted to שְׁמוּאֵל (''Šəmūʾēl/Šămūʾēl''). This meaning also relating to Hannah dedicating Samuel as a Nazirite to [[God]] as well.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/shaul_7592.htm|title=Hebrew Concordance: šā·'ūl -- 2 Occurrences|website=biblehub.com}}</ref>
