Context — The LORD Calls Samuel
1And the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. Now in those days the word of the LORD was rare, and visions were scarce.
2And at that time Eli, whose eyesight had grown so dim that he could not see, was lying in his room.
3Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was located. 4Then the LORD called to Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am.”Cross References

1 Samuel 3:2 Summary
[This verse tells us that Eli, the priest, was very old and his eyesight had become very poor, so much so that he couldn't see. This physical limitation is also a picture of his spiritual condition, as seen in other Bible stories where physical blindness symbolizes spiritual blindness, like in John 9:39-41. Despite his limitations, God was about to speak to the young Samuel, showing that He can use anyone, regardless of age or ability, to accomplish His will, just as He did with the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:6-10. As we reflect on this verse, we can remember that God is always working, even when we face challenges or limitations, and we can trust in His sovereignty and loving care, as promised in Romans 8:28 and Psalm 23:4.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Eli's dim eyesight in this verse?
Eli's dim eyesight in 1 Samuel 3:2 symbolizes his spiritual blindness, as seen in his inability to discern the Lord's presence and will, much like the spiritual blindness described in Isaiah 29:10 and Matthew 13:14-15.
Why was Eli lying in his room at this time?
Eli was likely resting due to his old age and physical limitations, similar to how the aged Abraham rested in Genesis 25:8, and this setup allows the Lord to speak to Samuel in 1 Samuel 3:4.
Is there any spiritual significance to the contrast between Eli's physical condition and Samuel's youthfulness?
The contrast between Eli's physical limitations and Samuel's youth highlights the theme of God using the young and inexperienced to accomplish His will, as seen in 1 Timothy 4:12 and Jeremiah 1:6-7.
How does this verse relate to the rarity of God's word mentioned in 1 Samuel 3:1?
The rarity of God's word in 1 Samuel 3:1 is underscored by Eli's physical and spiritual condition in 1 Samuel 3:2, emphasizing the need for a new generation of leaders, like Samuel, to hear and obey God's voice, as prophesied in Deuteronomy 31:14-15 and fulfilled in Acts 13:22.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in your life where you feel spiritually blind or limited, and how can you seek the Lord's guidance and healing?
- How can you, like Samuel, position yourself to hear and respond to God's voice, even in the midst of physical or spiritual challenges?
- In what ways can you learn from Eli's example, recognizing the importance of humility and acknowledging your own limitations, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 138:8?
- How can you trust in God's sovereignty and timing, even when you face physical or spiritual challenges, just like the Psalmist in Psalm 37:7 and the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 3:2

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 3:2
And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 3:2
In his place; in the court of the tabernacle. He could not see, to wit, clearly and distinctly. This is added as an evidence of his old age, partly to show God’ s contempt of him, notwithstanding his venerable age, and his preferring the child Samuel before him in this vision; and partly as the reason why Samuel so readily ran to him upon the first call, because his great age made him more to need his servants’ help.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 3:2
1 Samuel 3:2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, [that] he could not see;Ver. 2. At that time.] Much about that time that the aforesaid prophet had spoken to Eli, or not long after. Clouds cluster against a storm. Or rather, At that time when the word of God was precious. That he could not see.] Tηλαυγες, clearly, and far off. The Rabbins interpret it of the eyes of his mind also, as that he had lost the gift of prophecy: and do therefore note a special providence, that when one light failed, God set up another, viz., Samuel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 3:2
Verse 2. Eli was laid down in his place] It is very likely that as the ark was a long time at Shiloh, they had built near to it certain apartments for the high priest and others more immediately employed about the tabernacle. In one of these, near to that of Eli, perhaps under the same roof, Samuel lay when he was called by the Lord.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 3:2
2. at that time] This rendering is possible, but the Heb. literally means on that day, the memorable day which left such a deep mark upon Samuel’s life. So the LXX. and Vulg. The words from ‘when Eli’ to ‘was laid down to sleep’ form a parenthesis, describing the circumstances under which Samuel’s call took place. (1) Eli was lying down in his place. (2) His eyes had begun to grow dim so that he could not see. These clauses serve to explain why Samuel ran to Eli when he heard the Voice. He would naturally suppose that the infirm and half-blind old man required some assistance. (3) The lamp of God was not yet extinguished. This marks the time of night as shortly before daybreak, when the sacred light in the Sanctuary would burn dim or be put out. (4) Samuel was lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was.
The order of the Hebrew requires this translation. The term ‘temple’ includes the buildings round the Tabernacle (see note on 1 Samuel 1:9), in some of the chambers of which Eli and Samuel were sleeping, not of course in the Tabernacle itself. The Ark is expressly mentioned because it was the visible symbol of the Presence of Him from whom the Voice proceeded. to wax] i.e. to grow, from A. S. weaxan, Germ. wachsen. The word has passed out of general use in modern English. Wiclif has ‘Biholde ye the lilies of the feeld hou thei wexen.’ the lamp of God] The seven-branched golden candlestick, now mentioned for the last time, stood on the south side of the Holy Place, opposite the Table of Shewbread (Exodus 25:31-37). It was lighted every evening (Exodus 27:20-21; Exodus 30:7-8), and was extinguished in the morning. In Solomon’s temple it was superseded by ten separate candlesticks, but in the second temple the single candlestick was restored. It was carried to Rome by Titus after the capture of Jerusalem, and figures conspicuously among the trophies sculptured on his triumphal arch, from which the familiar representation of it is derived.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Samuel 3:2
The passage should be rendered thus: “And it came to pass at that time that Eli was sleeping in his place; and his eyes had begun to grow dim; he could not see.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Samuel 3:2
2. It came to pass at that time — Not the night following the day on which the man of God appeared to Eli, (1 Samuel 2:27,) as Drusius, Patrick, and others suppose, for, as a part of this call of God
