Barnes' Notes
Girded with a linen ephod - This was the usual dress of the priests. It does not appear whether Levites wore an ephod properly. Possibly it was a mark of Samuel' s special dedication to the Lord' s service that he wore one. (See the marginal reference). The ephod was sometimes used as an idolatrous implement Judges 8:27.
