Contextual Overview

11The LORD said to Samuel, "Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will ring. 12"On that day I will carry out against Eli everything that I have spoken concerning his house (family), from beginning to end.13"Now I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the sinful behavior which he knew [was happening], because his sons were bringing a curse on themselves [dishonoring and blaspheming God] and he did not rebuke them. 14"Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the sinful behavior of Eli's house (family) shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever." 15So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the LORD'S house. But Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. 16But Eli called Samuel and said, "Samuel, my son." And he answered, "Here I am." 17Then Eli said, "What is it that He said to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do the same to you, and more also, if you hide from me anything of all that He said to you." 18So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. And Eli said, "It is the LORD; may He do what seems good to Him."

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.
