SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:16
Llamando, pues, Elí a Samuel, le dijo: Hijo mío, Samuel. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Then Eli called Samuel , etc.] Perceiving he was risen by the opening of the doors of the tabernacle, which he might hear; and observing he did not come to him as usual, to know whether he wanted anything, and being impatient to hear what was said to him of the Lord: and he said, Samuel, my son ; called him by his name, and in a very tender and affectionate manner, the more to engage him to hasten to him, and thereby also putting him in mind of his filial duty to obey him: and he answered, here am I ; ready to attend and perform any service enjoined him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-18 - What a great deal of guilt and corruption is there in us, concernin which we may say, It is the iniquity which our own heart knoweth; we are conscious to ourselves of it! Those who do not restrain the sins of others, when it is in their power to do it, make themselves partaker of the guilt, and will be charged as joining in it. In his remarkabl answer to this awful sentence, Eli acknowledged that the Lord had right to do as he saw good, being assured that he would do nothin wrong. The meekness, patience, and humility contained in those words show that he was truly repentant; he accepted the punishment of his sin.
