About this time Samuel the prophet died. He was a man whom the Hebrews
honored in an extraordinary degree: for that lamentation which the people
made for him, and this during a long time, manifested his virtue, and the
affection which the people bore for him; as also did the solemnity and
concern that appeared about his funeral, and about the complete observation
of all his funeral rites. They buried him in his own city of Ramah; and
wept for him a very great number of days, not looking on it as a sorrow
for the death of another man, but as that in which they were every one
themselves concerned. He was a righteous man, and gentle in his nature;
and on that account he was very dear to God. Now he governed and presided
over the people alone, after the death of Eli the high priest, twelve years,
and eighteen years together with Saul the king. And thus we have finished
the history of Samuel.
