This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Eli sat upon a seat; placed there on purpose for him, that he might soon receive the tidings, which he longed for.
His heart trembled for the ark of God; whereby he discovered a public and generous spirit, and a fervent zeal for God, and for his honour and service, which he preferred before all his natural affections and worldly interests, not regarding his own children in comparison of the ark, though otherwise he was a most indulgent father, and had reason to believe that they went out like sheep for the slaughter, according to Samuel’s prediction.
