And the child
Samuel
ministered
unto the LORD
before
Eli.
And the word
of the LORD
was precious
in those days;
there was no open
vision.
And it came to pass at that time,
when Eli
was laid down
in his place,
and his eyes
began
to wax dim,
that he could
not see;
And ere the lamp
of God
went out
in the temple
of the LORD,
where the ark
of God
was, and Samuel
was laid down
to sleep;
That the LORD
called
Samuel:
and he answered,
Here am I.
And he ran
unto Eli,
and said,
Here am I;
for thou calledst
me. And he said,
I called
not; lie down
again.
And he went
and lay down.
And the LORD
called
yet again,
Samuel.
And Samuel
arose
and went
to Eli,
and said,
Here am I; for thou didst call
me. And he answered,
I called
not, my son;
lie down
again.
say
say
Now Samuel
did not yet
know
the LORD,
neither was the word
of the LORD
yet revealed
unto him.
And the LORD
called
Samuel
again
the third time.
And he arose
and went
to Eli,
and said,
Here am I; for thou didst call
me. And Eli
perceived
that the LORD
had called
the child.
say
Therefore Eli
said
unto Samuel,
Go,
lie down:
and it shall be, if he call
thee, that thou shalt say,
Speak,
LORD;
for thy servant
heareth.
So Samuel
went
and lay down
in his place.
say
And the LORD
came,
and stood,
and called
as at other times,
Samuel,
Samuel.
Then Samuel
answered,
Speak;
for thy servant
heareth.
And the LORD
said
to Samuel,
Behold, I will do
a thing
in Israel,
at which both
the ears
of every one that heareth
it shall tingle.
In that day
I will perform
against Eli
all things which I have spoken
concerning
his house:
when I begin,
I will also make an end.
For I have told
him that I will judge
his house
for
ever
for the iniquity
which he knoweth;
because his sons
made themselves vile,
and he restrained
them not.
And therefore I have sworn
unto the house
of Eli,
that the iniquity
of Eli's
house
shall not be purged
with sacrifice
nor offering
for
ever.
And Samuel
lay
until the morning,
and opened
the doors
of the house
of the LORD.
And Samuel
feared
to shew
Eli
the vision.
Then Eli
called
Samuel,
and said,
Samuel,
my son.
And he answered,
Here am I.
And he said,
What is the thing
that the LORD hath said
unto thee? I pray thee hide
it not from me: God
do so
to thee, and more also,
if thou hide
any thing
from me of all the things
that he said
unto thee.
say
And Samuel
told
him every whit,
and hid
nothing from him. And he said,
It is the LORD:
let him do
what seemeth
him good.
And Samuel
grew,
and the LORD
was with him, and did let none of his words
fall
to the ground.
And all Israel
from Dan
even to Beersheba
knew
that Samuel
was established
to be a prophet
of the LORD.
And the LORD
appeared
again
in Shiloh:
for the LORD
revealed
himself to Samuel
in Shiloh
by the word
of the LORD.
