Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Samuel 3:18

"And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good." — 1 Samuel 3:18 (ASV)

And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.

This was a grand speech of old Eli. Terrible as it might be, he bowed his head to the divine sentence, and owned that it was just.
