1 Samuel 3:1
1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
1 Sam. 3:1. Henry in loc., "There." From this time it began to be otherwise. There was "open vision." "And all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord," (verse 20, 1 Samuel 4:1).
