Excerpt from The Name of Samuel and the Stem
Evidently some other method than textual emendation must be followed in this case, if we are to reach a solution of the problem and the question is therefore in order, whether in the two passages under consideration the writer may not have used the stem 5&w in a sense somewhat different from the one hitherto taken for granted by scholars.
The verb wsw occurs very frequently in the Old Testament, but one is struck in examining these passages by the large number of instances in which it is used in the sense of a ceremonial asking,' an 'inquiry of God,' an oracle.' I find no less than twenty-eight certain instances of this kind. Let us take up first the passages which are perfectly clear.
