1 Samuel 3:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:16

Then Eli called Samuel
Perceiving he was risen by the opening of the doors of the tabernacle, which he might hear; and observing he did not come to him as usual, to know whether he wanted anything, and being impatient to hear what was said to him of the Lord:

and he said, Samuel, my son;
called him by his name, and in a very tender and affectionate manner, the more to engage him to hasten to him, and thereby also putting him in mind of his filial duty to obey him:

and he answered, here am I;
ready to attend and perform any service enjoined him.

1 Samuel 3:16 In-Context

14 Por isso jurei à família de Eli: ‘Jamais se fará propiciação pela culpa da família de Eli mediante sacrifício ou oferta’.”

15 Samuel ficou deitado até de manhã e então abriu as portas da casa do SENHOR. Ele teve medo de contar a visão a Eli,

16 mas este o chamou e disse: “Samuel, meu filho”.“Estou aqui”, respondeu Samuel.

17 Eli perguntou: “O que o SENHOR disse a você? Não esconda de mim. Deus o castigue, e o faça com muita severidade, se você esconder de mim qualquer coisa que ele falou”.

18 Então, Samuel lhe contou tudo e nada escondeu. Então Eli disse: “Ele é o SENHOR; que faça o que lhe parecer melhor”.
