²⁴ Then the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson; and the ^(A)child grew up, and Yahweh blessed him.

²⁶ Now the young boy ^(A)Samuel ^[a]was growing in stature and in favor both with Yahweh and with men.

¹⁹ Thus ^(A)Samuel grew, and ^(B)Yahweh was with him and ^(C)let none of his words fall to the ground. ²⁰ So all Israel ^(D)from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of Yahweh. ²¹ And ^(E)Yahweh appeared again at Shiloh, ^(F)because Yahweh revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Yahweh.

^80 (A)And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the desolate regions until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

^40 (A)Now the Child continued to grow and become strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
