1. 1 Samuel 3:20 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why is there a reference to Dan and Beersheba?

1 Samuel 3:20 (NEG79)

20 Tout Israël, depuis Dan jusqu'à Beer-Schéba, reconnut que Samuel était établi prophète de l'Eternel.

Dan to Beersheba refers to the traditional limits of Israel’s north and south (2 Samuel 17:11; 1 Kings 4:25).1 The reference to these two places thus indicates that everyone in Israel recognized Samuel as a prophet.
