撒母耳记上 3:19-21 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 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. I. God did him honour. Having begun to favour him, he carried on and crowned his own work in him: Samuel grew, for the Lord was with him, 1 Sam. 3:19. All our increase in wisdom and grace is owing to the presence of God with us; this is all in all to our growth. God honoured Samuel, 1. By further manifestations of himself to him. Samuel had faithfully delivered the... read more

And Samuel grew ,.... Not only in years and stature, but in grace and goodness, in wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, both with respect to things natural and spiritual, and in esteem, credit, and reputation among men: and the Lord was with him ; he was not only in favour with men, but with God; and had fresh and repeated tokens of the grace and good will of God towards him; he indulged him with his presence, and assisted him in his service, and prospered and succeeded him in all... read more

And all Israel, from Dan even unto Beersheba ,.... That is, from the most northern border of the land of Israel, on which Dan lay, to the utmost border of it southward, where Beersheba was, the fame of Samuel for his piety, prudence, and prophecy, was spread abroad; so that all knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord ; or that he was faithful F26 נאמן "fidelis", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version. to God and man, to be credited in what he said; and so... read more

And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh ,.... In the tabernacle there; he had appeared before to Samuel, when he called him, and declared to him what he designed and resolved to do to Eli and his family, and now appeared again to him in the same place before the battle of the Israelites with the Philistines, of which there is an account in the following chapter. Such appearances had not been usual in Shiloh for a long time, but were now renewed and repeated: for the Lord revealed himself to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 3:19

Samuel grew - Increased to manhood. The Lord was with him - Teaching him, and filling him with grace and holiness. None of his words fall - Whatever prediction he uttered, God fulfilled it; and his counsels were received as coming from the Lord. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 3:20

All Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba - Through the whole extent of Palestine; Dan being at the northern, Beer-sheba at the southern extremity.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 3:21

The Lord appeared again - להראה יהוה וישף vaiyoseph Yehovah leheraoh , "And Jehovah added to appear;" that is, he continued to reveal himself to Samuel at Shiloh. By the word of the Lord - By the spirit and word of prophecy. In this chapter we read again of the fearful consequences of a neglected religious education. Eli's sons were wicked: their father knew the Lord; but he neither taught his children, nor restrained them by his parental authority. I have already... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 3:15-21

Diverse experiences. The principal facts are— 1 . Samuel, on entering upon his daily duties, fears to relate to Eli what had been told him. 2 . Eli, under the action of conscience, and convinced that something important has been communicated, employs strong pressure to obtain it from Samuel. 3 . Eli, hearing the account, recognises the righteousness of the judgment. 4 . Samuel's position as prophet is established through the land. Samuel rose a new youth. During one night... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 3:19

And Samuel grew. His childhood up to this time has been carefully kept before our view; now he passes from youth to manhood. And Jehovah was with him. By special gifts, but especially by establishing his words. Spoken by Divine inspiration, they were all fulfilled. So in Ecclesiastes 12:11 the words of the wise are compared to "nails fastened" securely, and which may therefore be depended upon. But in their case it is experience and sound judgment that makes them foresee what is likely... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 3:20

From Dan, upon the north, to Beersheba, upon the south, means "throughout the whole country." The phrase is interesting, as showing that, in spite of the virtual independence of the tribes, and the general anarchy which prevailed during the time of the judges, there was nevertheless a feeling that they all formed one people. Was established. The same word used in Numbers 12:7 of Moses, and there translated was faithful. It is one of those pregnant words common in Hebrew, containing... read more
