Answer Details
The words "Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel" were spoken by God to Samuel the prophet. This statement can be found in 1 Samuel 3:11-14, where God calls out to Samuel in the middle of the night and tells him that he is about to punish the house of Eli the priest for their wickedness. God reveals to Samuel that he has chosen him to be a prophet and to deliver this message to Eli and his sons, Hophni and Phinehas.
