Exodus 3–4; Isaiah 6; Jeremiah 1:4–10; Ezekiel 1:1–3:16).Jones 2007 202Tsumura 2007 172 In a period when divine visions were infrequent, Samuel received his call-vision, which would remove the seat of power from Eli and his family. While Eli was still presiding for a short period, he instructed Samuel of the right words of response to God's calling (verses 9–10), but after Samuel received God's oracle (verses 11–14), Samuel became more powerful than Eli before the eyes of the people.Jones 2007 202 Verse 1 Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days. There was no vision coming forth.1 Samuel 3:1 MEV: MEV "The boy": from he נַּ֧עַר, na-‘ar H 5288,1 Samuel 3:1 Hebrew text analysis.

Painting by John Singleton Copley (1780) Samuel's oracle of doom over Eli's house confirms the words of the man of God in 2:27-36: the house of Eli will fall because of the iniquity of his sons and his own inability to admonish them.Jones 2007 202 Eli accepted God's verdict (verse 18) and that Samuel would become a 'powerful prophet whose words were fulfilled', not only in Shiloh, but throughout the land of Israel (verses 20–21).Jones 2007 202Benson, Joseph, Commentary on the Old and New Testaments: 1 Samuel 3, accessed 9 July 2019 Verse 19 So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.1 Samuel 3:19 NKJV: New King James Version Jones notes that this verse is indicative both of Samuel's own growth to maturity and his accession to power as a prophet.Jones 2007 202 Verse 20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.1 Samuel 3:20 KJV: KJV "From Dan even to Beer-sheba" is a phrase regularly used to denote 'the whole land of Israel', first mentioned in Judges 20:1 9, then becoming common in the books of Samuel and only appearing once more after the division of the Kingdoms, that is, after the fall of the northern kingdom (2 Chronicles 30:5 9).Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges. 1 Samuel 3.
