Contextual Overview
11 Adonai said to Sh'mu'el, "Look! I am going to do something in Isra'el that will make both ears of everyone who hears about it tingle. 12 On that day I will do against ‘Eli everything I have said with regard to his family, from beginning to end. 13 For I have told him that I will execute judgment against his family forever, because of his wickedness in not rebuking his sons, even though he knew that they had brought a curse on themselves. 14 Therefore I have sworn to the family of ‘Eli that the wickedness of ‘Eli's family will never be atoned for by any sacrifice or offering." 15 Sh'mu'el lay there until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of Adonai . But Sh'mu'el was afraid to tell ‘Eli the vision. 16 Then ‘Eli called Sh'mu'el: "Sh'mu'el, my son!" He answered, "Here I am." 17 ‘Eli said, "What did he say to you? Please, don't hide it from me; may God do whatever he said and worse, if you hide from me anything he said to you." 18 So Sh'mu'el told him every word and hid nothing. ‘Eli replied, "It is Adonai ; let him do what seems good to him."

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.
