Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
      3. Samuel's faithful delivery of his message at last (1 Samuel 3:18; 1 Samuel 3:18): He told him every whit. When he saw that he must tell him he never minced the matter, nor offered to make it better than it was, to blunt that which was sharp, or to gild the bitter pill, but delivered the message as plainly and fully as he received it, not shunning to declare the whole counsel of God. Christ's ministers must deal thus faithfully.
