Acts 13:20 (2024) – And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. [cf. I Sam. 1:20 – Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD. [Ellicott's Bible Commentary for English Readers comments that Samuel is from the Hebrew words literally meaning "heard of God." Other commentators use the term "asked of God," probably because asked is the word used in this verse. But when Hannah asked of God, God heard.]]
