Strongs On/Off
Context
3:13 You should tell him that I am about to judge his house forever because of the sin that he knew about. For his sons were cursing God, and he did not rebuke them.
3:14 Therefore I swore an oath to the house of Eli , ‘The sin of the house of Eli can never be forgiven by sacrifice or by grain offering .’”
3:15 So Samuel lay down until morning . Then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house . But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision .
3:16 However, Eli called Samuel and said , “Samuel , my son !” He replied , “Here I am.”
3:17 Eli said , “What message did he speak to you? Don’t conceal it from me. God will judge you severely if you conceal from me anything that he said to you!”
3:18 So Samuel told him everything . He did not hold back anything from him. Eli said , “The Lord will do what he pleases .”
3:19 Samuel continued to grow , and the Lord was with him. None of his prophecies fell to the ground unfulfilled .
3:20 All Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba realized that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the Lord .
3:21 Then the Lord again appeared in Shiloh , for it was in Shiloh that the Lord had revealed himself to Samuel through the word of the Lord .
