from the tribe of the sons of Simeon
This phrase identifies the tribal affiliation of Shemuel, linking him to Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Simeon is named after the second son of Jacob and Leah. Historically, the tribe of Simeon was known for its close association with the tribe of Judah, often sharing territory. The Hebrew root for Simeon, "Shimon," means "to hear" or "to be heard," reflecting Leah's declaration in Genesis 29:33 that the Lord heard she was unloved. This connection emphasizes the importance of listening to God's word and being attentive to His commands, a theme that resonates throughout the Scriptures.

Shemuel
Shemuel, the individual named here, is tasked with a significant role in the division of the Promised Land. His name in Hebrew, "Shemuel," means "heard of God" or "name of God," which underscores the divine calling and responsibility placed upon him. The name itself is a reminder of the importance of being attuned to God's voice and the privilege of being chosen for His purposes. In the broader biblical narrative, names often reflect character or destiny, and Shemuel's name suggests a life marked by divine interaction and purpose.

son of Ammihud
The mention of Shemuel as the "son of Ammihud" provides a genealogical link, grounding him in a specific family lineage. "Ammihud" means "my kinsman is majesty" or "people of glory," indicating a heritage of honor and distinction. This lineage emphasizes the continuity of God's promises through generations, highlighting the importance of family and heritage in the fulfillment of God's covenant. In the biblical context, genealogies serve to connect individuals to the larger account of God's people, reminding readers of the faithfulness of God across time.

Verse 20. - Shemuel. This is the same name as Samuel. Of the rest, every, one except the last occurs elsewhere in the Old Testament as the name of some other Israelite.
