Samuel is four times called by the Lord: who revealeth to him the evil that shall fall on Heli, and his house.
Samuel thrise called vpon in sleepe by vision from God, repaireth to Heli, 10. the fourth time our Lord reueleth to him the euil, that shal fall to Heli, and his house. 16. Which he, being requested, declateth to Heli.
1Now the child Samuel ministered to the Lord before Heli, and the word of the Lord was precious in those days, there was no manifest vision.Ma il giovinetto Samuele serviva al Signore sotto gli occhi di Heli, e di rado avveniva in que' giorni che parlasse il Signore: non era comune la profezia.AND the childe Samuel ministred to our Lord before Heli, and the word of our Lord was precious in those daies, there was no vision manifest.Puer autem Samuel ministrabat Domino coram Heli, et sermo Domini erat pretiosus in diebus illis: non erat visio manifesta. 2And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see:Or avvenne una volta, che mentre Heli dormiva nel luogo consueto (e gli occhi di lui erano ottenebrati, ed ei durava fatica a vedere):It came to passe therfore on a certayne day Heli lay in his place, and his eies were become dimme, neither could he see.Factum est ergo in die quadam, Heli jacebat in loco suo, et oculi ejus caligaverant, nec poterat videre: 3Before the lamp of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was.Non essendo ancora spenta la lampana di Dio, Samuele dormiva nel tempio del Signore, dov'era l'arca di Dio.before the lampe of God was extinguished, Samuel slept in the temple of our Lord, where the arke of God was.lucerna Dei antequam extingueretur, Samuel dormiebat in templo Domini, ubi erat arca Dei. 4And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I.E il Signore chiamò Samuele: il quale rispose: Eccomi.And our Lord called Samuel. Who answering, said: Loe here I am.Et vocavit Dominus Samuel. Qui respondens, ait: Ecce ego. 5And he ran to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept.E corse ad Heli, e disse: Eccomi, poiché tu mi hai chiamato. E quegli disse: Non ti ho chiamato, vattene, e dormi. Ed egli se n'andò a dormire.And he ranne to Heli and said: Loe here I am: for thou didst cal me. Who saied: I did not cal thee: returne and sleepe. And he went and slept.Et cucurrit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego: vocasti enim me. Qui dixit: Non vocavi: revertere, et dormi. Et abiit, et dormivit. 6And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep.E il Signore tornò di nuovo a chiamar Samuele. E questi alzatosi andò ad Heli, e disse: Eccomi, poiché tu mi hai chiamato. E questi rispose: Figliuolo mio, io non ti ho chiamato: ritorna a dormire.And our Lord added againe to cal Samuel. And Samuel rysing vp went to Heli, and said: Loe here I am: because thou didst cal me. Who answered: I did not cal thee my sonne: returne and sleepe.Et adjecit Dominus rursum vocare Samuelem. Consurgensque Samuel, abiit ad Heli, et dixit: Ecce ego, quia vocasti me. Qui respondit: Non vocavi te, fili mi: revertere et dormi.
7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither had the word of the Lord been revealed to him.Or Samuele non avea ancora conoscenza del Signore, e non sapea distinguere la parola del Signore.Moreouer Samuel did not yet know our Lord, neither had the word of our Lord beene reueled to him.Porro Samuel necdum sciebat Dominum, neque revelatus fuerat ei sermo Domini. 8And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli,E il Signore tornò di bel nuovo a chiamare per la terza volta Samuele. Ed egli si alzò, e andò da Heli,And our Lord added, and called Samuel yet the third time. Who rysing vp went to Heli,Et adjecit Dominus, et vocavit adhuc Samuelem tertio. Qui consurgens abiit ad Heli, 9And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place.E disse: Eccomi, poiché tu mi hai chiamato. Comprese adunque Heli che il Signore avea chiamato il garzone, e disse a Samuele: Va, e dormi: e se in appresso ti chiamerà, tu dirai: Parla, o Signore, perocché il tuo servo sta ascoltando. Andò adunque Samuele al suo posto, e si addormentò.and said: Loe here I am: because thou didst cal me. Heli therfore vnderstood that our Lord called the childe, and said to Samuel: Goe, & sleepe: & if he shal cal the hereafter, thou shalt saie: Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. Samuel therfore went & slept in his place.et ait: Ecce ego, quia vocasti me. Intellexit ergo Heli quia Dominus vocaret puerum: et ait ad Samuelem: Vade, et dormi: et si deinceps vocaverit te, dices: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. Abiit ergo Samuel, et dormivit in loco suo. 10And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, as he had called the other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.E il Signore venne, e si fermò: e chiamollo per due volte (come lo avea chiamato prima): Samuele, Samuele. E Samuele disse: Parla, o Signore, perocché il tuo servo sta ascoltando.And our Lord came, and stoode: and he called, as he had called twise, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel sayd: Speake Lord for thy seruant heareth.Et venit Dominus, et stetit: et vocavit, sicut vocaverat secundo: Samuel, Samuel. Et ait Samuel: Loquere, Domine, quia audit servus tuus. 11And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle.E il Signore disse a Samuele: Ecco che io fo tal cosa in Israele, che a chiunque l'udirà, fischieranno ambedue le orecchie.And our Lord said to Samuel: Behold I doe a thing in Israel: which whosoeuer shal heare, both his eares shal tingle.Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem: Ecce ego facio verbum in Israël, quod quicumque audierit, tinnient ambæ aures ejus.
12In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end.In quel giorno io porrò in essere a danno di Heli tutte quelle cose che ho annunziate riguardo alla casa di lui: io principierò, e finirò.In that day wil I rayse vp against Heli al thinges which I haue spoken touching his house: I wil beginne, and accomplish it.In die illa suscitabo adversum Heli omnia quæ locutus sum super domum ejus: incipiam, et complebo. 13For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them.Imperocché io gli ho predetto che avrei esercitati i miei giudizii sopra la casa di lui in eterno per ragion della iniquità: perocché egli sapeva che i suoi figliuoli viveano indegnamente, e non gli ha corretti.For I haue foretold him that I would iudge his house for euer, because of iniquitie, for that he knewe that his sonnes did wickedly, and hath not corrected them.Prædixi enim ei quod judicaturus essem domum ejus in æternum propter iniquitatem, eo quod noverat indigne agere filios suos, et non corripuerit eos. 14Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever.Per questo ho giurato alla casa di Heli, che l'iniquità di questa casa non sarà espiata in eterno colle vittime nè co'doni.Therfore haue I sworne to the house of Heli, that the iniquitie of his house can not be expiated with victimes and giftes for euer.Idcirco juravi domui Heli quod non expietur iniquitas domus ejus victimis et muneribus usque in æternum. 15And Samuel slept till morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to tell the vision to Heli.E Samuele dormì sino alla mattina, e aprì le porte della casa del Signore. E Samuele non avea cuore di partecipare ad Heli la visione (del Signore).And Samuel slept vntil morning, and opened the doores of the house of our Lord. And Samuel feared to tel the vision vnto Heli.Dormivit autem Samuel usque mane, aperuitque ostia domus Domini. Et Samuel timebat indicare visionem Heli. 16Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.Heli pertanto chiamò Samuele, e disse: Samuele figlio mio! Questi rispose: Eccomi qui.Heli therfore called Samuel, and said: Samuel my sonne: Who answering, said: Here I am.Vocavit ergo Heli Samuelem, et dixit: Samuel fili mi ? Qui respondens ait: Præsto sum. 17And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.Heli gli domandò: Che è quello che ti ha detto il Signore? ti prego di non tenermelo nascoso: Dio ti faccia questo, e peggio, se mi nascondi una sola parola di tutte quelle che sono state dette a te.And he asked him: What is the word, that our Lord hath spoken to thee? I besech thee conceale it not from me. These thinges doe God to thee, and these doe he adde, if thou shalt hide from me a word of al the wordes, which were said to thee.Et interrogavit eum: Quis est sermo, quem locutus est Dominus ad te ? oro te ne celaveris me: hæc faciat tibi Deus, et hæc addat, si absconderis a me sermonem ex omnibus verbis quæ dicta sunt tibi.
18So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.Samuele adunque riferì a lui tutte quante le parole senza tacerne veruna. E quegli rispose: Egli è il Signore: faccia quello che negli occhi suoi è ben fatto.Samuel therfore told him al the wordes, & did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is our Lord: let him doe that which is good in his eies.Indicavit itaque ei Samuel universos sermones, et non abscondit ab eo. Et ille respondit: Dominus est: quod bonum est in oculis suis faciat. 19And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground.E Samuele cresceva, e il Signore era con lui, e di tutte le sue parole neppur una cadde per terra.And Samuel grewe, and our Lord was with him, and there fel not of his wordes vpon the ground.Crevit autem Samuel, et Dominus erat cum eo, et non cecidit ex omnibus verbis ejus in terram. 20And all Israel, from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord.E conobbe tutto Israele da Dan sino a Bersabea, come Samuele era fedel profeta del Signore.And al Israel knewe from Dan to Bersabee, that faithful Samuel was the prophet of our Lord.Et cognovit universus Israël, a Dan usque Bersabee, quod fidelis Samuel propheta esset Domini. 21And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel.E il Signore tornò ad apparire (a lui) in Silo, perocché in Silo si era manifestato il Signore a Samuele, secondo la parola del Signore. Ed ebbero effetto le parole di Samuele per tutto Israele.And our Lord added to appeare in Silo, because our Lord had bene reueled to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of our Lord. And the word of Samuel came to passe to al Israel.Et addidit Dominus ut appareret in Silo, quoniam revelatus fuerat Dominus Samueli in Silo juxta verbum Domini. Et evenit sermo Samuelis universo Israëli.
3:1
Year of the World 2861, Year before Christ 1143.
Before. Chaldean, "in the days of Heli." The young Levite slept in an adjoining chamber, to wait on the high priest, not far from the sanctuary.
Worthington
Precious; that is, rare: (Challoner) as such things are generally more esteemed, (Haydock) which are granted to few. (Worthington)
Calmet
Some prophets had appeared under the former judges: but they were not so common as they were from the days of Samuel, till a little after the captivity. St. Peter ranks Samuel in the first place, Acts 3:24. (Calmet)
Menochius
Vision. No prophet was publicly recognized, to whom the people might have recourse. (Menochius)
3:3
Worthington
Out, towards morning, (Calmet; Exodus 27:20.) when some of the lamps were to be extinguished. (Worthington)
Vatable
Samuel slept. Some would transpose these words to the end of the verse, as they think it improbable that Samuel should be in the place where the high priest himself could enter only once a year. (Vatable, etc.)
Sanctius
But this change seems harsh and unnecessary, as Heli and Samuel might be in apartments contiguous to the holy place. (Sanctius; Menochius; Calmet)
Tirinus
During the night none of the priests would be in the sanctuary, so that Heli might form a judgment that none of them had called Samuel. (Tirinus)
3:7
Calmet
Him. He had not before an experimental knowledge of the manner in which God revealed his will to men. (Calmet)
3:9
Haydock
Heareth; ready to comply with whatever may be required. (Haydock)
3:10
Haydock
Times, (secundò:) a second time, or repeatedly, or mentioning the name twice, (Menochius) as God does sometimes in urgent cases, Genesis 22:11. (Haydock)
3:11
Tingle, through astonishment and fright, Jeremias 19:3., and 4 Kings 21:12.
3:12
House, by the prophet, 1 Kings 2:27.
3:13
Du Hamel
Wickedly. Septuagint, "were cursing God." This is one of the places which the Jews have corrected. (Du Hamel)
Haydock
Chastise them, not in words only, or in a soft manner, as he had done. Hebrew, "because his sons made themselves despicable, and he did not frown upon them." (Haydock)
Menochius
Ciha denotes, to correct with a wrinkled face. (Menochius)
Haydock
Aquila, "he did not look black at them," nor avert his eyes with horror. All this iniquity was done publicly, and in his presence; (Calmet) and he suffered his children to proceed without any restraint. It is not sufficient to reprove, when a father can correct. (Haydock)
3:14
Haydock
Sworn. We read not of an express oath; (Calmet) but the denunciation of God was equivalent. (Haydock)
Calmet
Iniquity, or punishment. Nothing could withhold the indignation of the Lord, in correcting the sinner, though he would shew mercy eternally to the penitent. But he saw the obstinacy of these priests, and their unhappy end. The sacrifices of the old law always presupposed suitable internal sentiments, to grant the remission of sin; and even for the avoiding of the legal punishments, they must have been offered in a true spirit of religion, which these abandoned wretches despised and neglected. (Calmet)
Tirinus
God threatens that he will punish their crimes for ever, as he abominates the contempt of priests. (Tirinus)
3:15
Slept. Hebrew and Septuagint, "laid himself down to sleep." For how could he take any rest after such terrible threats? (Calmet) particularly as light was beginning to appear, when he was called by God, ver. 3.
Calmet
Doors. Some walls had probably been built, to enclose the curtains of the tabernacle. A priest would have been employed to open the sanctuary. (Calmet)
3:17
Grotius
And so. Literally, "May God do these things to thee, and add these also." It is not certain that he mentioned the particular punishment, (Haydock) though it is most probable. The Scripture refrains from repeating them. (Grotius)
Calmet
Ruth 1:17. (Calmet)
3:18
St. Gregory
Sight. Some of the Fathers think that these words proceeded from an habitual indifference, as he was not disposed to molest his sons any farther, let the consequences be what they might. (St. Gregory; St. Ephrem, etc.)
But others believe, that Heli was actuated by the spirit of humanity and resignation, and saved his soul. (Calmet) See 1 Kings 4:18.
Du Hamel
Years. The author of the Concord. between the Books of Kings and of Chronicles, thinks Samuel was then 39. (Du Hamel)
3:19
Haydock
Ground, unfulfilled. This may be understood of the words of the Lord, (Calmet) which Samuel had announced. His other predictions were constantly verified, so that he was justly regarded as a true prophet. (Haydock)
3:20
Calmet
Faithful. Hebrew Neeman, may be a title of dignity, or may signify that Samuel was confirmed and continued to be a prophet. (Calmet)
Sanchez
According to, or by. God revealed his will to him by word, and not by visions. (Sanchez)
Haydock
Israel. The whole people suffered along with their leaders. (Haydock)
Menochius
They were concerned in the prediction which was denounced against the house of Heli. (Menochius)
Haydock
Septuagint, "and Samuel was entrusted to be the prophet of the Lord, to all Israel, from the ends of the earth to the ends: And Heli was very old, and his sons going went forward, and their way was wicked before the Lord." Thus they usher in the following catastrophe. (Haydock)
3:1
Precious.... That is, rare.
3:1
Rare thinges are called precious, and so the gift of prophecie is here termed, which was then granted to few.
3:3
This vision happened early in the morning, before the time of dressing the lampes, when some were put out and others light.
3:1
St Ignatius of Antioch † AD 108 Epistle to the Magnesians: Shorter and Longer Versions 3
… Samuel also, when he was but a little child, reproved Eli, who was ninety years old, for giving honour to his sons rather than to God.
St John Chrysostom † AD 407 Homilies on First Thessalonians 1
… And of the latter I said, that in his first youth I was revealed to him, and that on his account, being prevailed upon, I opened the prophecy that had been shut up. For “the word of the Lord,” it is said, “was precious in those days; there was no open vision.” (
3:3
St John Chrysostom † AD 407 A Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles 4
… Thus, for instance, David: what he did among the sheepfolds, the same he did after his victory and trophy; that it might be shown how simple and absolute was his faith. Again, see Moses despising royalty, and forsaking all, and after forty years taking the lead of the people ( Exod. ii. 11 ); and Samuel occupied there in the temple (
3:9
St Augustine of Hippo † AD 430 Expositions on the Book of Psalms 89.19
19. “Thou spakest sometime in vision unto Thy sons, and saidst” ( ver. 19 ). Thou spakest in thy vision. Thou didst reveal this to Thy Prophets. For this reason Thou spakest in vision, that is, in revelation: whence Prophets were called seers. They saw something within, which they were to speak without: and secretly they heard what they preached openly.
3:13
St John Chrysostom † AD 407 The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom 17
… all these things are to me a fable, a shade, a dream. For no one of those who are now rich, will stand up for me there, when I am called to account and accused, as not having thoroughly vindicated the laws of God, with all due earnestness. For this, this ruined even that admirable old man,
St John Chrysostom † AD 407 A Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles 8
… It will be answered, “You ought to have used more vehement rebuke; since Eli also admonished.” ( 1 Sam. ii. 24 .) But God forbid I should compare you with Eli’s sons. Indeed, he did admonish them and say, “Nay, my sons, do not so; evil is the report that I hear of you.” (
3:18
St John Chrysostom † AD 407 Homilies on Philemon 2
… But hear what David says, “If He thus say, I have no delight in thee, behold here am I, let Him do to me as seemeth good unto Him.” ( 2 Sam. xv. 26 .) And yet he had an infinite number of good things to speak of. And Eli also says, “It is the Lord: let Him do what seemeth Him good.” (
3:1
1. Now the child Samuel. — Josephus, in book V, chapter XI, says he had completed his twelfth year. Before Heli, — that is being instructed and directed by Heli, to whom Samuel obeyed at his nod. The Chaldean, while Heli lived. And the word of the Lord was precious, — that is rare; for things which are rare are dear and precious. There was no open vision (prophecy). — In Hebrew nipherats, that is broken, that is, widely spread or scattered.
3:2
2. Heli lay in his place, — that is, he slept in that part of the courtyard which was near the tabernacle: while Samuel and the other Levites slept in a more remote part of the courtyard; thus the Chaldean. 3. The lamp of God before it was extinguished, Samuel slept. — Thus read with the Roman, Hebrew, Chaldean, Septuagint, Aquila and Symmachus. It is a periphrasis of night. The sense is as if he said: When the lamps of the tabernacle still burned, that is when it was still night, or certainly the beginning and dark dawn, and therefore Samuel still slept, the Lord appeared to him.
3:5
5. And he ran to Heli. — From this it appears that Samuel, accustomed to be awakened from sleep in the morning by Heli, thought himself called by Heli, not by God, inasmuch as he had not heard His voice until now. But this voice of God, or of an angel, appears to have been similar to the voice of Heli. See here the obedience of the prophet Samuel, on account of which he merited to be chosen by God as a prophet and prince of the people. Again learn here that God speaking to Samuel sends him to Heli, both so that Heli might consider this oracle of God more carefully and believe it; and so that he might teach that the oracles of God are to be examined and directed by superiors, so that the proper order and subordination of subjects might be preserved, and that there be no place for diabolical illusion. Thus Cassian, Collation II, chapter XIV.
3:7
7. Moreover Samuel did not yet know the Lord, — that is, he had not yet experienced the voice of God, he was not yet accustomed to hear the Lord speaking, so that he might distinguish His voice from the voice of Heli, and recognize God from His voice. Thus St. Jerome in Questions.
3:9
9. Heli therefore understood (either by the instinct of God, as Salian wishes, or by human reasoning; namely because there was no one else in that place who would call Samuel; and because Samuel was most pleasing to God on account of his virtue and piety), that the Lord was calling the boy. Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth, — so that he might receive and carry out thy commands. This should be said by any faithful person, when he hears God suggesting or inspiring something inwardly to his mind.
3:10
10. And the Lord came and stood. — From this it is clear that God, that is, the angel of God acting as His vicar, not only inspired these things to the mind of Samuel, but in an assumed body spoke to him with a bodily voice. Samuel, Samuel. — Hear St. Gregory: The name is repeated, when the mind of the seer is received into great familiarity with the internal majesty, and is elevated by fervent desires to the love of Him who calls.
3:11
11. I will do a word (that is, the thing and the punishment threatened against Heli, so dire and horrible) which whosoever shall hear, both his ears shall tingle. It is a metaphor, drawn from one who suddenly hears a cymbal tingling, or the roar of a great cannon, or a tremendous thunder.
3:13
13. For I have foretold to him that I will judge (that is, justly punish) his house (family and posterity), because he knew his sons to act wickedly, and did not rebuke them. — Heli had rebuked them, but with too much paternal gentleness, not with pontifical authority and severity, says Angelomus. For this reason he is punished by death: thus he atones for the crime of his sons by his death.
3:14
14. Therefore I have sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims and gifts for ever. — From this many think Heli to be damned. But this place does not prove it. For he speaks of the house of Heli, not of Heli himself.
3:17
17. Do this. — It is a formula of adjuring in Hebrew, as if he said: May God punish thee, or may evil befall thee, if thou concealest this from me. 18. It is the Lord, let Him do what is good in His sight. — See here the answer of Heli worthy of a penitent pontiff, equanimous, and resigned to all the will of God. Morally, from this let us learn to bear equanimously whatever adversities and afflictions are sent or permitted by God for our good, and to humbly subject our back to God scourging. Thus did David fleeing from Absalom and Saul: Thou art just, O Lord, said he, and Thy judgment is right, Psalm CXVIII, verse 137.
3:19
19. And Samuel grew. — And there fell not one of his words to the ground. — First, as if he said: Nothing spoken by Samuel was made void, but all things said and foretold by him were fulfilled in fact. Second, as if he said: The word of Samuel was not contemptible, but held in great honor and esteem by all.
3:20
3:21
21. And the Lord added that He appeared in Silo. — For God is constant, and therefore constantly promotes and pursues His undertakings: wherefore the bestowal of one benefit by God is the reason and stimulus for conferring another. Tropologically Philo, in the book On the Migration of Abraham: The fountain, says he, from which good things flow is familiarity with a benign God; therefore, as if sealing His benefits, He says: I will be with thee.

… "man of God" who announces to Heli the decline of his House (I Sam. 2:27); Samuel (v.), after whom, given the grave dangers of Yahwism and the related vicissitudes of the nation, the prophetic message follows uninterruptedly as a constant ministry (I Sam. 3:1; Act. 3:24; Hebr. 11:32). In the time of David: Gad (I Sam. 22:5; etc.) and Nathan (II Sam. 7:2; etc.); under Solomon: Ahijah (I Reg. 11:20; etc.); Shemaiah under Rehoboam; …
