Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Samuel lay awake in his bed, his thoughts, no doubt, well employed (as David's Ps. lxiii. 6 ), when the Lord called to him, bishop Patrick thinks out of the most holy place, and so the Chaldee paraphrase reads it, A voice was heard out of the temple of the Lord; but Eli, though it is likely he lay nearer, heard it not; yet possibly it might come some other way.
