1 Samuel2:18
18 ¶ But Samuel ministred before the LORD , being a child, girded with a linnen Ephed .
i. e. Performed his Ministration carefully and faithfully, not corrupting nor abusing it, as Eli's Sons did.
In Gods Tabernacle: or as in Gods presence, sincerely and regularly, with Gods approbation. Compare Gen. 17. 1. 2 Chron. 26. 4.
A garment used in Gods Service, and allowed not onely to the inferior Priests and Levites, but also to eminent persons of the People: as 2 Sam. 6. 14. and therefore to Samuel, who, though no Levite, was a Nazarite, and that from his Birth.
