1 Samuel 3:1-2

The Call of Samuel

3:1 Now the boy Samuel continued serving the Lord under Eli’s supervision. ⁴  Word from the Lord was rare in those days; revelatory visions were infrequent.

1 Samuel 1:10

[27:17]  ² sn This is probably technical terminology for a military leader (Josh 14:11; 1 Sam 18:13-16; 1 Kgs 3:7; 2 Kgs 11:9). The image of a shepherd can also be military in nature (1 Kgs 22:17).

[1:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “she [was in] bitterness of soul.”

[1:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “and weeping, she was weeping.” The infinitive absolute emphasizes the extent of her sorrow. The imperfect verbal form emphasizes the continuation of the action in past time.

[121:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “your going out and your coming in.”
