1 SAMUEL 1:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.”
Then Eli answered: Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant you your petition that you have asked of him—Eli's priestly benediction (*shalom*, peace) is the word of absolution and blessing. He becomes, unknowingly, a conduit of divine assent, speaking the prayer's answer before it is answered.
