Josephus also says that “when Samuel was twelve years old, he began to prophesy: and once when he was asleep, God called to him by his name. ” ​ — Compare 1 Samuel 3: 2 - 21.
Josephus ütleb ka, et „kui Saamuel oli kaksteist aastat vana, hakkas ta prohvetlikult ennustama: ja kord, kui ta magamas oli, nimetas Jumal teda nimepidi ”. — Võrdle 1. Saamueli 3: 2 — 21.
