1 Samuele 3:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 3:20

And all Israel, from Dan even unto Beersheba
That is, from the most northern border of the land of Israel, on which Dan lay, to the utmost border of it southward, where Beersheba was, the fame of Samuel for his piety, prudence, and prophecy, was spread abroad; so that all

knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord;
or that he was faithful ^F26 to God and man, to be credited in what he said; and so a fit man to be a prophet of the Lord, being eminently qualified with gifts by him for that office; the Targum is,

``that Samuel was faithful in the words of the prophecy of the Lord,''

in relating them.

1 Samuele 3:20 In-Context

18 Samuele allora gli raccontò tutto, senza celargli nulla. Ed Eli disse: "Egli è l’Eterno: faccia quello che gli parrà bene".

19 Samuele intanto cresceva, e l’Eterno era con lui e non lasciò cader a terra alcuna delle parole di lui.

20 Tutto Israele, da Dan fino a Beer-Sceba, riconobbe che Samuele era stabilito profeta dell’Eterno.

21 L’Eterno continuò ad apparire a Sciloh, poiché a Sciloh l’Eterno si rivelava a Samuele mediante la sua parola, e la parola di Samuele era rivolta a tutto Israele.
