Prophet is resolved to get us meal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

samuel

'prophet' is the definition.
(I know that Samuel is a prophet)

'resolved to get us meal' is the wordplay.
'resolved' indicates an anagram.
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'us'+'meal' is 'usmeal'.
'usmeal' anagrammed gives 'SAMUEL'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for samuel that I've seen before include "-- Beckett, Irish author" , "First name of Beckett, Irish writer" , "Old Testament judge and priest" , "Prophet, anointed King David" , "Two books of the Bible bear this name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
