14. Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”
15. Then Samuel lay down until the morning, when he opened the doors of the House of Adonai. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
16. Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” he replied.
17. “What is the word that He has spoken to you?” he said. “Please don’t hide it from me. May God do so to you and even more if you hide anything at all from me that He spoke to you.”
18. So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing. Then Eli said, “He is Adonai. May He do what is good in His eyes.”
19. So Samuel grew up and Adonai was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
20. Then all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was entrusted as a prophet of Adonai.
21. Adonai started to appear once more in Shiloh, for Adonai revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Adonai.
