| Hannah: | She was one of two wives belonging to Elkanah. She was much beloved by him, but was unable to have a child. His other wife, Penninah, was unkind for of her failure to have children. Thought of a drunk, poured her heart out in the temple |

| Judith: | Demonstrated heroic virtue just as the Israelites were preparing to surrender to Holofornes who had besieged Bethulia. She made herself beautiful and walked right into the enemy camp… |

| David: | A simple shepherd, the youngest son of Jesse, chosen by God through Samuel. David took on the Philistine, Goliath, scoring a victory for Israel. In spite of Saul’s jealous hatred, David continued to lead Israel’s armies against Saul’s enemies. |
| David Continued: | Sinned against God by taking another man’s wife, Bathsheba, and placing her husband in harm's way to get rid of him. David was sincerely repentant and returned to God’s favor, becoming the most celebrated king in Israel’s history and an ancestor to Jesus. |
