Hey, i am a theologian. A hobby. I am doing a biblical thesis on jacob and samuel. Both were the favoured kids of their mother. Jacob, naughty, samuel, quiet. Jacob was a wrestler. Samuel was a calm guy.
I am saying all these to say how much my research resonates with your story.
And thousand other things, like the similarities between two chapters- genesis 35 and 1 samuel 7.
1. Both of them say to throw idols in a similar way, similar hebrew words.
2.in both cases it says “der herr antwortete”. (Jacob- the lord who answered..) (the destress in samuel’s situation was described and it says god “answered”).
3. Thirdly jacob says “der mit mir gewesen ist auf den weg ich gezogen bin” (who was with me on the way i came), whereas samuel says thirdly ebenezer- der herr ist bis hierhin (geographical point) geholfen.” (To me it sounds similar).
4. Both of them go to bethel (in jacobs case it his only place, in samuels case it is one of his four places).
5. Jacob gets good with esau, whereas in samuels case it is israel making peace with ammorites.
6. Samuel makes a memorial stone, jacob also places a stone.
Both of them also build altars. I don’t think there are any other places in the bible where they build altars as well as erect stones.
7. The type of distresses- threat from surrounding places is also same- Jacob- people from Schechem and Samuel- Philisters-, (I think, if not tell me pls).
8. In this chapter, jacob is officially addressed as israel. This chapter was the beginning of israel.
In 1 samuel 7, israel is for the first time gathered as a nation.
