It's not mentioned n The Bible anywhere. But if you need a little more information, here it is:

When saul got older, God told Samuel that there was to be a new king. God sent Samuel out to a house with many sons. Samuel asked if all their sons were standing there and they said there was one more boy working. The boy working came (Matthew) and God told Samuel he was the new King. Samuel was upset, but annointed Matthew.

According to tradition, the prophet Samuel was quite young when he first heard God's call. He had been resting at the time, and initially thought that it was Eli who had called his name. He said "here I am," and ran to Eli to see what it was that Eli wanted. Eli told him that he hadn't called him, and told Samuel that when he would hear the call once more, he should respond "speak, Lord, for your servant is listening;" and that is what Samuel did (see 1 Samuel ch.3).

Meaning of Samuel?

There are two meanings to Samuel in scripture that I have found . 1. Samuel. Name of God. Son of Elkanah and Hannah, born in answer to his mother's prayers. 2. Samson. Of the sun. Son of Manoah, and the twelfth of the "judges" of Israel (Judg. 13:24-16:30). He seems to have been a man notorious for his great physical strength, but weak in intellectual and moral character.
