18 So Samuel told Eli everything and did not hide anything from him. Then Eli said, “He is the Lord. Let him do what he thinks is best.”
19 The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up; he did not let any of Samuel’s messages fail to come true.
20 Then all Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, knew Samuel was a true prophet of the Lord.
21 And the Lord continued to show himself at Shiloh, and he showed himself to Samuel through his word.
