Contextual Overview

11 The LORD said to Shemu'el, Behold, I will do a thing in Yisra'el, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against `Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end. 13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse on themselves, and he didn't restrain them. 14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of `Eli, that the iniquity of `Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering forever. 15 Shemu'el lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. Shemu'el feared to show `Eli the vision. 16 Then `Eli called Shemu'el, and said, Shemu'el, my son. He said, Here am I. 17 He said, "What is the thing that [the LORD] has spoken to you? Please don't hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you." 18 Shemu'el told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. He said, It is the LORD: let him do what seems him good.

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.
