Gill's Notes on the Bible
In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house,.... Or family, that is, by the man of God, 1 Samuel 2:27 as that he would cut off the strength of it, that there should not be an old man in it; and such as remained should be reduced to the utmost poverty and meanness; this shows that that prophecy was antecedent to this, contrary to the sense of some:
when I begin, I will also make an end; not immediately, and at once, but by degrees; he began in the death of Hophni and Phinehas, and went on in the slaughter of Abimelech, and the eighty five priests at Nob, in the times of Saul, and finished in the thrusting out of Abiathar from the priesthood, in the times of Solomon, whereby that family was brought to disgrace and poverty.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
When I begin ... - literally, as in the margin: meaning, I will go through with the performance from first to last.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 3:12. I will perform - all things which I have spoken — That is, what He had declared by the prophet, whose message is related 1 Samuel 2:27, &c.
When I begin, I will also make an end. — I will not delay the execution of my purpose: when I begin, nothing shall deter me from bringing all my judgments to a conclusion.
