Where is The Bible record that Samuel were anointed with oil? Promised to the service of Jehovah as a Nazirite by his mother Hannah before conception (1 Samuel 1:11), Samuel was taken to the tabernacle at Shiloh upon being weaned (perhaps at the age of at least three years; and was left there in the charge of High Priest Eli. (1 Samuel 1:24-28) Thus Samuel, having a linen ephod girded on, 'ministered to Jehovah' as a boy.
