God's message to Eli, ver. 11-14. His faithful delivery of that message, and Eli's submission to God, ver. 15-18. The establishment of Samuel to be a prophet, ver. 19-21 Commentary on Chapter III

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

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.
