1 Samuel 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:11

And the Lord said to Samuel
The voice of the Lord continued speaking to him: behold,

I will do a thing in Israel;
which may be particularly interpreted of the taking of the ark, and the slaying of the two sons of Eli; and which is elsewhere represented as the Lord's doing, for the sins of Eli's family, ( Psalms 78:61 Psalms 78:62 )

at which both the ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle;
be struck with horror and amazement, and quite stunned, and know not what to think or say, like persons surprised with a violent clap of thunder, which strikes their ears so strongly, that the noise of it is not soon gone from them; this was verified in Eli, and in his daughter-in-law particularly, who, at the news of the above things, the one fell backwards and broke his neck, and the other fell into labour and died; and all Israel were struck with astonishment at these things.

1 Samuel 3:11 In-Context

9 e lhe disse: “Vá e deite-se; se ele chamá-lo, diga: ‘Fala, SENHOR, pois o teu servo está ouvindo’.” Então Samuel foi deitar-se.

10 O SENHOR voltou a chamá-lo como nas outras vezes: “Samuel, Samuel!”Samuel disse: “Fala, pois o teu servo está ouvindo”.

11 E o SENHOR disse a Samuel: “Vou realizar em Israel algo que fará tinir os ouvidos de todos os que ficarem sabendo.

12 Nessa ocasião executarei contra Eli tudo o que falei contra sua família, do começo ao fim.

13 Pois eu lhe disse que julgaria sua família para sempre, por causa do pecado dos seus filhos, do qual ele tinha consciência; seus filhos se fizeram desprezíveis, e ele não os puniu.
