The Book of Samuel forms part of the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings) which was written, in the form we know today, during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. Samuel was intended to be read by the inhabitants of Judah, including descendants of the refugees who had much earlier fled south from Israel when the Assyrians destroyed the nation. It provided a sense of shared nationhood for native Judahites and the former Israelites.

The Old Testament books were selected and formalised as the Hebrew Bible by the Council of Jamnia, meeting in 96 CE. The Hebrew Bible became the scriptures to be read by all future generations of Jews.

Answer:

Samuel, and the Prophets Gad and Nathan, who according to tradition authored the Book of Samuel, intended it for the Israelite people. It contains many Torah-lessons concerning the relationship between our conduct (personal and national) and that of God. All of our history is intended as a lesson for us (Deuteronomy 32:7).
