The Lord Calls Samuel

3Meanwhile the boy Samuel was serving the Lord before Eli. A word from the Lord was rare in those days, and visions were infrequent.H5288H8050H8334H3068H6440H5941H1697H3068H3368H3117H6555H2377
2At that time Eli, whose vision was growing dim, was lying down in his bedroom.H3117H5941H7901H4725H5869H2490H3544H3201H7200
3The lamp of God had not yet been extinguished, and Samuel was lying down in the tabernacle of the Lord where the Ark of God was.H5216H430H3518H1964H3068H727H430H8050H7901
4The Lord called out to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am."H3068H7121H8050H559
5He ran to Eli and said, "Here I am! You called me." "I didn't call you," Eli said. "Go back and lie down." So he went and lay down.H7323H5941H559H2009H7121H559H7121H7901H7725H3212H7901
6Then the Lord again called out, "Samuel!" So Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, "Here I am! You called me." He said, "I didn't call you, my son. Go back and lie down."H3068H7121H3254H8050H8050H6965H3212H5941H559H7121H559H7121H1121H7901H7725
7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord and had not yet had the word of the Lord revealed to him.H8050H2962H3045H3068H1697H3068H1540
8Then the Lord called out to Samuel again a third time, and he got up, went to Eli, and said, "Here I am! You called me." Then Eli understood that the Lord was calling the boy,H3068H7121H8050H3254H7992H6965H3212H5941H559H7121H5941H995H3068H7121H5288
9so Eli said to Samuel, "Go lie down, and then if he calls you, answer, 'Speak, Lord, because your servant is listening.'" Then Samuel went and lay down.H5941H559H8050H3212H7901H7121H559H1696H3068H5650H8085H8050H3212H7901H4725
10Later, the Lord came and stood there, calling out, "Samuel! Samuel!" as he had before. Samuel said, "Speak, because your servant is listening."H3068H935H3320H7121H6471H8050H8050H8050H559H1696H5650H8085
11"Look," the Lord said to Samuel. "I'm about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears it tingle.H3068H559H8050H6213H1697H3478H8147H241H8085H6750
12I'll fulfill every promise that I've spoken concerning Eli's family, from beginning to end.H3117H6965H5941H1696H413H1004H2490H3615
13I've told him that I'm about to judge his family forever because of the iniquity that he knew about. His sons committed blasphemy and he did not rebuke them.H5046H8199H1004H5704H5769H5771H3045H1121H7043H3543
14Therefore I've sworn concerning Eli's family that the iniquity of his family is not to be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever."H7650H1004H5941H5771H5941H1004H3722H2077H4503H5704H5769

Samuel Delivers God’s Message

15Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord, but he was afraid to report the vision to Eli.H8050H7901H1242H6605H1817H1004H3068H8050H3372H5046H5941H4759
16Then Eli called Samuel: "Samuel, my son." He said, "Here I am."H5941H7121H8050H559H8050H1121H559
17Eli said, "What did the Lord say to you?Please don't conceal anything from me. May God do this to you and even more if you conceal from me one word of all that he spoke to you."H559H1697H1696H3582H430H6213H3254H3582H1697H1697H1696
18Samuel told him everything - he did not conceal anything from him. Eli said, "He is the Lord. May he do what seems good to him."H8050H5046H1697H3582H559H3068H6213H5869H2896
19As Samuel grew, the Lord was with him and did not let any of Samuel's predictions fail.H8050H1431H3068H1697H5307H776
20All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as the Lord's prophet.H3478H1835H884H3045H8050H539H5030H3068
21The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, because he revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord.H3068H7200H3254H7887H3068H1540H8050H7887H1697H3068
