Contextual Overview
11 The Lord said: Samuel, I am going to do something in Israel that will shock everyone who hears about it! 12 I will punish Eli and his family, just as I promised. 13 He knew that his sons refused to respect me, and he let them get away with it, even though I said I would punish his family forever. 14 I warned Eli that sacrifices or offerings could never make things right! His family has done too many disgusting things. 15 The next morning, Samuel got up and opened the doors to the Lord 's house. He was afraid to tell Eli what the Lord had said. 16 But Eli told him, "Samuel, my boy, come here!" "Here I am," Samuel answered. 17 Eli said, "What did God say to you? Tell me everything. I pray that God will punish you terribly if you don't tell me every word he said!" 18 Samuel told Eli everything. Then Eli said, "He is the Lord , and he will do what's right."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Eli called Samuel,.... Perceiving he was risen by the opening of the doors of the tabernacle, which he might hear; and observing he did not come to him as usual, to know whether he wanted anything, and being impatient to hear what was said to him of the Lord:
and he said, Samuel, my son; called him by his name, and in a very tender and affectionate manner, the more to engage him to hasten to him, and thereby also putting him in mind of his filial duty to obey him:
and he answered, here am I; ready to attend and perform any service enjoined him.
