What Happened

Samuel was just a kid serving in the temple when God started calling his name in the middle of the night. He kept running to Eli like 'you called me?' and Eli was like 'bro I'm sleeping.' Third time's the charm — Eli finally realized God was sliding into Samuel's DMs. The message? Eli's whole house was getting canceled for his sons' wickedness. No cap, tough first prophecy.
