1 Samuel 3


I'm back (again)! Maybe this time I'll stick to this, Lord willing.

This relatively short chapter covers the first interaction of Samuel with the Lord. It is interesting to me that it took so long for Eli and Samuel to figure out what was going on, but this was obviously not a common occurence. I also find Eli's resignation to his family's fate strange - but perhaps he had come to understand the error of his ways, and knew the God could not allow the evil his sons practiced to go unpunished. I expect the fulfillment of these prophecies to come soon...
