Contextual Overview

11 The Lord said to Samuel, "Watch, I am going to do something in Israel that will shock those who hear about it. 12 At that time I will do to Eli and his family everything I promised, from beginning to end. 13 I told Eli I would punish his family always, because he knew his sons were evil. They acted without honor, but he did not stop them. 14 So I swore to Eli's family, ‘Your guilt will never be removed by sacrifice or offering.'" 15 Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the house of the Lord . He was afraid to tell Eli about the vision, 16 but Eli called to him, "Samuel, my son!" Samuel answered, "I am here." 17 Eli asked, "What did the Lord say to you? Don't hide it from me. May God punish you terribly if you hide from me anything he said to you." 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."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord said to Samuel,.... The voice of the Lord continued speaking to him: behold,

I will do a thing in Israel; which may be particularly interpreted of the taking of the ark, and the slaying of the two sons of Eli; and which is elsewhere represented as the Lord's doing, for the sins of Eli's family, Psalms 78:61

at which both the ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle; be struck with horror and amazement, and quite stunned, and know not what to think or say, like persons surprised with a violent clap of thunder, which strikes their ears so strongly, that the noise of it is not soon gone from them; this was verified in Eli, and in his daughter-in-law particularly, who, at the news of the above things, the one fell backwards and broke his neck, and the other fell into labour and died; and all Israel were struck with astonishment at these things.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

More accurately, “the which whosoever heareth both his ears shall tingle.” This expressive phrase occurs again twice (marginal references) with reference to the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. It is remarkable that Jeremiah repeatedly compares the destruction of Jerusalem with the destruction of Shiloh (Jeremiah 7:12, Jeremiah 7:14; Jeremiah 26:6, Jeremiah 26:9; Compare Psalms 78:60-64).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 3:11. The Lord said to Samuel — He probably saw nothing, and only heard the voice; for it was not likely that any extraordinary representation could have been made to the eyes of a person so young. He heard a voice, but saw no similitude.

The ears - shall tingle. — It shall be a piercing word to all Israel; it shall astound them all; and, after having heard it, it will still continue to resound in their ears.
