1 Samuel 3:15-4:1
New American Standard Bible
15 So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he (A)opened the doors of the house of the Lord. But Samuel was afraid to tell (B)the vision to Eli. 16 Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he said, “Here I am.” 17 He said, “What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. (C)May God do the same to you, and more so, if you hide a single word from me of all the words that He spoke to you!” 18 So Samuel told him [a]everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “(D)He is the Lord; let Him do [b]what seems good to Him.”
19 Now (E)Samuel grew, and (F)the Lord was with him, and He (G)let none of his words [c]fail. 20 And all Israel (H)from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the Lord. 21 And (I)the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, (J)because the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord.

Samuel answered, “Here I am.”
17 “What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide(A) it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely,(B) if you hide from me anything he told you.” 18 So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, “He is the Lord; let him do what is good in his eyes.”(C)
19 The Lord was with(D) Samuel as he grew(E) up, and he let none(F) of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba(G) recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord.(H) 21 The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed(I) himself to Samuel through his word.
