1 Samuel 3:16-20

16 Eli called him, "Samuel, my boy!" "Yes, sir," answered Samuel.
17 "What did the Lord tell you?" Eli asked. "Don't keep anything from me. God will punish you severely if you don't tell me everything he said."
18 So Samuel told him everything; he did not keep anything back. Eli said, "He is the Lord; he will do whatever seems best to him."
19 As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him and made come true everything that Samuel said.
20 So all the people of Israel, from one end of the country to the other, knew that Samuel was indeed a prophet of the Lord.
