- Samuel was not destitute of the knowledge of God, in that sense which implies the total absence of true piety, as Eli's sons were; for he knew and worshipped the God of Israel, but he did not know him as communicating special revelations of his will to him, in the manner in which he made it known to the prophets. "But¹¹ let him that gloriethª° gloryª° in this,¹ that he understandethª° and knowethª° me, that¹ I¹ [am] the LORDª which exerciseª° lovingkindness,ª judgment,ª and righteousness,ª in the earth:ª for¹ in these¹ [things] I delight,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 9:24} + "He saidª° untoª them,ª² Have¹ ye receivedª° the Holyª Ghostª since ye believed?ª° Andª they¹ saidª° untoª him,ª² We have²° not so much asª¹ heardª° whetherª there be¹ any²° Holyª Ghost.ª" {Act 19:2}
