1 Samuel 8:6 But when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” their demand was displeasing in the sight of Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord.

1 Samuel 3:10 Then the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”

Ruth 3:12 Yes, it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, but there is a redeemer nearer than I.
