1Sa 3:11, 2Ki 21:12 | Clarke | e4.org | Verse 11. The Lord said to Samuel ] He probably saw nothing, and only heard the voice ; for it was not likely that any extraordinary representation could have been made to the eyes of a person so young. He heard a voice , but saw no similitude . The ears-shall tingle. ] It shall be a piercing word to all Israel; it shall astound them all; and, after having heard it, it will still continue to resound in their ears.

‏ 1 Samuel 3:11

Verse 11. The Lord said to Samuel] He probably saw nothing, and only heard the voice; for it was not likely that any extraordinary representation could have been made to the eyes of a person so young. He heard a voice, but saw no similitude.

The ears-shall tingle.] It shall be a piercing word to all Israel; it shall astound them all; and, after having heard it, it will still continue to resound in their ears.

‏ 2 Kings 21:12

Verse 12. Both his ears shall tingle.] titstsalnah; something expressive of the sound in what we call, from the same sensation, the tingling of the ears. This is the consequence of having the ears suddenly pierced with a loud and shrill noise; the ears seem to ring for some time after. The prophets spoke to them vehemently, so that the sound seemed to be continued even when they had left off speaking. This was a faithful and solemn testimony.
