Berean Study Bible

So Samuel grew
The phrase "Samuel grew" indicates not just physical growth, but also spiritual and intellectual maturation. In Hebrew, the word for "grew" is "gadal," which can mean to become great or important. This suggests that Samuel was increasing in stature and favor, both with God and man, much like Jesus is described in Luke 2:52. Samuel's growth is a testament to the nurturing environment provided by Eli and the divine calling upon his life. It is a reminder that spiritual growth is a process that involves both divine intervention and human responsibility.

and the LORD was with him
The presence of the LORD with Samuel is a significant theme throughout the Bible, indicating divine favor and guidance. The Hebrew word for "with" is "im," which implies a close, personal relationship. This phrase assures us that Samuel's success and prophetic authority were not due to his own abilities but were a result of God's presence in his life. It echoes the promise given to other leaders like Moses and Joshua, emphasizing that God's presence is essential for fulfilling His purposes.

and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground
This phrase signifies the reliability and authority of Samuel's prophetic ministry. In Hebrew, the word for "fall" is "naphal," which can mean to fail or be ineffective. The imagery of words not falling to the ground suggests that everything Samuel spoke, as a prophet, was fulfilled and came to pass. This is a powerful testament to the truth and power of God's word spoken through His chosen vessels. It underscores the idea that when God speaks through His prophets, His words are effective and accomplish what He intends, as seen in Isaiah 55:11. Samuel's words were upheld by God, affirming his role as a true prophet and leader in Israel.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(19) And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him.--Again in a brief sentence the life of Samuel was contrasted with another: this time with that of his predecessor in the judgeship. As the boy grew up to manhood, we hear that while, on the one hand, as, no doubt, in earlier days with Eli, so now with Samuel, the Lord was with His servant, giving him strength and wisdom, guiding him and guarding him; and, on the other, different from Eli, we hear how the young prophet let none of the Divine words fall to the ground. In those dark days of sin and shame at Shiloh, in the midst of scenes of temptation, the boy stood firm; his early life was a perpetual protest against covetousness and iniquity.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 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 to happen; it was a higher gift which made Samuel's words remain safe and sure, and capable of firmly holding up all enterprises that were hung upon them.
