1 Samuel 3:17-19

Living Bible

^16-17 But Eli called him.

“My son,” he said, “what did the Lord say to you? Tell me everything. And may God punish you if you hide anything from me!”

¹⁸ So Samuel told him what the Lord had said.

“It is the Lord’s will,” Eli replied; “let him do what he thinks best.”

¹⁹ As Samuel grew, the Lord was with him and people listened carefully to his advice.
