1 Samuel 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:10

And the Lord came, and stood
At the place where Samuel lay; either there was, as Kimchi, a form before his eyes in the vision of prophecy, some visible corporeal shape assumed; or a bright splendour an illustrious appearance of the glory of God; or it may be rather the voice, which before seemed to be at some distance whereabout Eli lay; it now seemed nearer, and was as the voice of one just by him, that sounded in his ears:

and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel:
repeating his name, in order the more to excite his attention:

then Samuel answered, speak, for thy servant heareth;
he leaves out the word Lord, which Eli bid him use; for he might be afraid as yet to make mention of the name of the Lord in the vision of prophecy, as Kimchi speaks; or lest it should be the voice of another, as Jarchi; as yet he might not be quite certain whether it was the voice of the Lord, or the voice of a man; for that he should have any mistrust of its being the voice of a demon or spectre, there is no reason to believe.

1 Samuel 3:10 In-Context

8 Por tercera vez llamó el SEÑOR a Samuel. Él se levantó y fue adonde estaba Elí.—Aquí estoy —le dijo—; ¿para qué me llamó usted?Entonces Elí se dio cuenta de que el SEÑOR estaba llamando al muchacho.
9 —Ve y acuéstate —le dijo Elí—. Si alguien vuelve a llamarte, dile: “Habla, SEÑOR, que tu siervo escucha”.Así que Samuel se fue y se acostó en su cama.
10 Entonces el SEÑOR se le acercó y lo llamó de nuevo:—¡Samuel! ¡Samuel!—Habla, que tu siervo escucha —respondió Samuel.
11 —Mira —le dijo el SEÑOR—, estoy por hacer en Israel algo que a todo el que lo oiga le quedará retumbando en los oídos.
12 Ese día llevaré a cabo todo lo que he anunciado, de principio a fin, en contra de Elí y su familia.
