This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
How can I go: Exo 3:11; 1Ki 18:9-14; Mat 10:16; Luk 1:34
Take an heifer: For the prudent management of the affair, and to avoid suspicion, Samuel was directed to go to Bethlehem to sacrifice, as he probably did from time to time in many different places; and the answer which he was instructed to return was strictly true though he did not tell the principal design of his coming; for though no man in any circumstances should tell a lie, yet, in all circumstances, he is not bound to tell the whole truth, though he must tell nothing but the truth, and so tell that truth that the hearer shall not believe a lie by it.
with thee: Heb. in thine hand, 1Sa 9:12
I am come: 1Sa 9:12, 1Sa 20:29; Jer 38:26-27
