SAMUEL BORN. (Sa1 1:20)
called his name Samuel--doubtless with her husband's consent. The names of children were given sometimes by the fathers, and sometimes by the mothers (see Gen 4:1, Gen 4:26; Gen 5:29; Gen 19:37; Gen 21:3); and among the early Hebrews, they were commonly compound names, one part including the name of God. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Samuel - i. e. heard of God, because given in answer to prayer. The names "Ishmael" and "Elishama" have the same etymology. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Samuel - That is, Asked of God. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Called his name Samuel - As she gave this name to her son because she had asked him of the Lord, the word שמואל Shemuel must be here considerably contracted; if it express this sentiment, the component parts of it are the following: שאול מאל shaul meEl, "asked of God." This name would put both the mother and the son in continual remembrance of the Divine interposition at his birth. See on Sa1 1:28 (note). |
