15 And Samuel H8050 lay H7901 until the morning, H1242 and opened H6605 the doors H1817 of the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068 And Samuel H8050 feared H3372 to shew H5046 Eli H5941 the vision. H4759
Then said H559 I, Ah, H162 Lord H136 GOD! H3069 behold, I cannot H3045 speak: H1696 for I am a child. H5288 But the LORD H3068 said H559 unto me, Say H559 not, I am a child: H5288 for thou shalt go H3212 to all that I shall send H7971 thee, and whatsoever I command H6680 thee thou shalt speak. H1696 Be not afraid H3372 of their faces: H6440 for I am with thee to deliver H5337 thee, saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
So Hannah H2584 rose up H6965 after H310 they had eaten H398 in Shiloh, H7887 and after H310 they had drunk. H8354 Now Eli H5941 the priest H3548 sat H3427 upon a seat H3678 by a post H4201 of the temple H1964 of the LORD. H3068
Who is there even among you that would shut H5462 the doors H1817 for nought? neither do ye kindle H215 fire on mine altar H4196 for nought. H2600 I have no pleasure H2656 in you, saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 neither will I accept H7521 an offering H4503 at your hand. H3027
Now G1161 if G1437 Timotheus G5095 come, G2064 see G991 that G2443 he may be G1096 with G4314 you G5209 without fear: G870 for G1063 he worketh G2038 the work G2041 of the Lord, G2962 as G5613 I G1473 also G2532 do. Let G1848 no G3361 man G5100 therefore G3767 despise G1848 him: G846 but G1161 conduct G4311 him G846 forth G4311 in G1722 peace, G1515 that G2443 he may come G2064 unto G4314 me: G3165 for G1063 I look for G1551 him G846 with G3326 the brethren.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 3 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 3
In the foregoing chapter we had Samuel a young priest, though by birth a Levite only, for he ministered before the Lord in a linen ephod; in this chapter we have him a young prophet, which was more, God in an extraordinary manner revealing himself to him, and in him reviving, if not commencing, prophecy in Israel. Here is,
1Sa 3:1-10
To make way for the account of God's revealing himself first to Samuel, we are here told,
The manner of God's revealing himself to Samuel is here related very particularly, for it was uncommon.
1Sa 3:11-18
Here is,
1Sa 3:19-21
Samuel being thus brought acquainted with the visions of God, we have here an account of the further honour done him as a prophet.
