1Samuel 3
3And 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.H5288H8050H8334H3068H6440H5941H1697H3068H3368H3117H6555H23772And 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;H3117H5941H7901H4725H5869H2490H3544H3201H72003And 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;H5216H430H3518H1964H3068H727H430H8050H79014That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.H3068H7121H8050H5595And 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.H7323H5941H559H2009H7121H559H7121H7901H7725H3212H79016And 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.H3068H7121H3254H8050H8050H6965H3212H5941H559H7121H559H7121H1121H7901H77257Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. / Now…: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto himH8050H2962H3045H3068H1697H3068H15408And 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.H3068H7121H8050H3254H7992H6965H3212H5941H559H7121H5941H995H3068H7121H52889Therefore 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.H5941H559H8050H3212H7901H7121H559H1696H3068H5650H8085H8050H3212H7901H472510And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.H3068H935H3320H7121H6471H8050H8050H8050H559H1696H5650H808511And 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.H3068H559H8050H6213H1697H3478H8147H241H8085H675012In 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. / when…: Heb. beginning and endingH3117H6965H5941H1696H413H1004H2490H361513For 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. / For I…: or, And I will tell him / vile: or, accursed / restrained…: Heb. frowned not upon themH5046H8199H1004H5704H5769H5771H3045H1121H7043H354314And 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.H7650H1004H5941H5771H5941H1004H3722H2077H4503H5704H576915And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.H8050H7901H1242H6605H1817H1004H3068H8050H3372H5046H5941H475916Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.H5941H7121H8050H559H8050H1121H55917And 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. / more also: Hebr. so add / any thing: or, wordH559H1697H1696H3582H430H6213H3254H3582H1697H1697H169618And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. / every…: Heb. all the things, or, wordsH8050H5046H1697H3582H559H3068H6213H5869H289619And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.H8050H1431H3068H1697H5307H77620And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. / established: or, faithfulH3478H1835H884H3045H8050H539H5030H306821And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.H3068H7200H3254H7887H3068H1540H8050H7887H1697H3068
