Samuel grows in credit Samuel lay down until the morning The phrase begins with "Samuel," a name meaning "heard by God" in Hebrew, which is fitting given his role as a prophet who hears God's voice. The act of "laying down" signifies rest and obedience, as Samuel returns to his place after receiving a divine message. This moment reflects a period of contemplation and preparation, as Samuel processes the weight of the revelation he has received. The "morning" symbolizes a new beginning, both literally and spiritually, as light dawns on the message he must deliver. then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD He was afraid to tell Eli the vision Feared.--"Here was Samuel's first experience of the prophet's cross: the having unwelcome truth to divulge to those he loved, honoured, and feared. Jeremiah felt this cross to be an exceedingly heavy one" (Jeremiah 15:10; Jeremiah 17:15-18; Jeremiah 20:7-18).--Speaker's Commentary. Verse 15. - Samuel... opened the doors. In Exodus 26:36; Exodus 36:37, the word used, though translated door, really means an opening, protected by a hanging curtain. The word used here means double or folding doors of wood, and we must therefore conclude that solid buildings had grown up round the tabernacle (see on 1 Samuel 1:9), and a wall for its defence in case of invasion, or the assault of predatory tribes. The confiding the keys of these enclosures to Samuel shows that he was no longer a mere child, or he would have been incapable of holding a position of such high trust (on the key as an emblem of authority see Isaiah 22:22). Vision, as noticed above on ver. 10, means something seen by a person awake and in full possession of his senses.Parallel Commentaries ...
