Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you — Samuel commits himself to intercessory prayer ('lehith'palel aleychem, to pray on your behalf') and declares that to cease praying would be sin (het) against God. Prayer and prophetic intercession are Samuel's solemn obligation. but I will teach you the good and the right way — Samuel will guide the people in the way ('derech) of goodness and righteousness, offering practical moral and spiritual instruction.
