Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
"He opened the doors of the house of the Lord"  (1 Samuel 3:15).  The mention of doors here is not, "Another evidence that the House of Yahweh was not a tent."[24]  It only means that, "Solid buildings had been constructed around the tabernacle for purposes of defense."[25]  The fact of Samuel's opening these doors gives us a glimpse of the nature of services the young man was providing.
