Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Samuel heard all the words of the people,.... Patiently, and without interruption; attentively heard them, took notice of them, laid them up in his memory; but gave no answer to them, but reported them to the Lord, as in the next clause:

and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord; privately, in a free and familiar manner, with great exactness, as they were expressed; this he did, not before the people publicly, but in secret prayer, seeking for direction what he should further do, or what answer he should return to them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 8:21. Rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord. — He went to the altar, and in his secret devotion laid the whole business before God.
