15. Samuel lay there until morning, then opened the doors of the Lord’s house. Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
16. But Eli called Samuel, saying: "Samuel, my son!""I’m here," Samuel said.
17. "What did he say to you?" Eli asked. "Don’t hide anything from me. May God deal harshly with you and worse still if you hide from me a single word from everything he said to you."
18. So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him."He is the Lord, " Eli said. "He will do as he pleases."
