The Significance of Samuel
Commentators explain that Peter specifically mentions Samuel because he was the next great prophet after Moses and the founder of the 'schools of the prophets.' More importantly, Samuel was the prophet who anointed King David and was associated with the promise of David's eternal kingdom (2 Samuel 7), a key Messianic prophecy that points directly to Jesus.
