15And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.
16Then Eli said, Samuel, my son. And Samuel answering said, Here am I.
17And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.
18Then Samuel gave him an account of everything, keeping nothing back. And he said, It is the Lord; let him do what seems good to him.
19And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.
20And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.
21And the Lord was seen again in Shiloh; for the Lord gave to Samuel in Shiloh the revelation of his word.
