1 SAMUEL 3:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.”
And Eli said: What was it that he told you? I pray you, do not hide it from me. God do so to you and more also, if you hide anything from me of all that he said to you—the *shema'ta* (oath formula: 'God do so to you') invokes divine curse if Samuel withholds the word. This is the test: will the boy obey the prophet's obligation over family loyalty?
