¹⁵ Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

¹⁶ Then Eli called Samuel, and said, "Samuel, my son!" He said, "Here I am."

¹⁷ He said, "What is the thing that [Yahweh] has spoken to you? Please don't hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you."

¹⁸ Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, "It is Yahweh. Let him do what seems good to him."
