The Story of Samuel and the Philistines
Hannah and Samuel become these exalted latecomers over what you think is the first point. And she's a true outsider than in this scenario. So Samuel becomes one exalted to the place that the Levite should occupy, but there's no qualified Levites because they're all corrupt with the sons of Eli. The Philistines attack, they steal the Ark and Hofnion, Finchas and Eli all die in the fallout from that battle. Then the Ark is delivered back because Yahweh stands plagues on the Philistines. Without a Moses figure, just the Ark becomes his own Moses.
