ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Samuel

Samuel is a name given to someone, just like how you have your own name. It is used to identify that person and to call them.

Samuel can also refer to a person in the Bible who was a prophet and a judge. He lived a long time ago and his stories are told in the Bible. He was chosen by God to do important work and help people.

When we talk about Samuel, we could be talking about a real person with that name or someone in the Bible with that name. It's like how there could be many people with the same name, but they are all different people.
