Defeated by the Philistines, Israel’s army brought the ark of the covenant to Shiloh to assure victory in the next battle—and were soundly beaten again! Their mistake?

After years of spiritual famine when the word of the Lord was rare and visions infrequent, God broke into the silence through the calling of Samuel.
