Contextual Overview

11 And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Lo! I am doing a thing, in Israel, - at which both ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle. 12 In that day, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, - beginning and finishing. 13 Therefore do I tell him, that I am about to judge his house unto times age-abiding, for the iniquity which he knoweth, in that his sons are cursing God, and he hath not rebuked them. 14 And therefore have I sworn, respecting the house of Eli, - that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall receive no propitiatory-covering, by sacrifice or by present, unto times age-abiding. 15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, - but, Samuel, feared to tell the appearing, unto Eli. 16 So Eli called Samuel, and said - Samuel! my son. And he said - Behold me! 17 And he said - What is the word, which he spake unto thee? I pray thee, do not hide it from me. So, let God do to thee, and, so, let him add, if thou hide from me a word, out of anything which he hath spoken unto thee. 18 So Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said, Yahweh, he is; what is good in his own eyes, let him do.

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.
