1
Now the boy
Samuel
was ministering
to the LORD
before
Eli.
And word
from the LORD
was rare
in those
days,
visions
were infrequent.
2
It happened
at that time
as Eli
was lying down
in his place
(now his eyesight
had begun
to grow dim
and he could
not see
well),
3
and the lamp
of God
had not yet
gone
out, and Samuel
was lying down
in the temple
of the LORD
where
the ark
of God
was,
4
that the LORD
called
Samuel;
and he said,
"Here
I am."
5
Then he ran
to Eli
and said,
"Here
I am, for you called
me." But he said,
"I did not call,
lie
down
again."
So he went
and lay
down
.
6
The LORD
called
yet
again,
"Samuel!"
So Samuel
arose
and went
to Eli
and said,
"Here
I am, for you
called
me." But he answered,
"I did not call,
my son,
lie down
again."
7
Now Samuel
did not
yet
know
the LORD,
nor
had the word
of the LORD
yet
been revealed
to him.
8
So the LORD
called
Samuel
again
for the third time.
And he arose
and went
to Eli
and said,
"Here
I am, for you
called
me." Then Eli
discerned
that the LORD
was calling
the boy.
9
And Eli
said
to Samuel,
"Go
lie
down,
and it shall be if
He calls
you, that you shall say,
'Speak,
LORD,
for Your servant
is listening.'"
So Samuel
went
and lay down
in his place.
10
Then the LORD
came
and stood
and called
as at other
times,
"Samuel!
Samuel!"
And Samuel
said,
"Speak,
for Your servant
is listening."
11
The LORD
said
to Samuel,
"Behold,
I am about to do
a thing
in Israel
at which
both
ears
of everyone
who hears
it will tingle.
12
"In that day
I will carry
out against
Eli
all
that I have spoken
concerning
his house,
from beginning
to end.
13
"For I have told
him that I am about to judge
his house
forever
for the iniquity
which
he knew,
because
his sons
brought a curse
on themselves
and he did not rebuke
them.
14
"Therefore
I have sworn
to the
house
of Eli
that the iniquity
of Eli
's
house
shall not be atoned
for by sacrifice
or offering
forever."
15
So Samuel
lay down
until
morning.
Then he opened
the doors
of the house
of the LORD.
But Samuel
was afraid
to tell
the vision
to Eli.
16
Then Eli
called
Samuel
and said,
"
Samuel
,
my son."
And he said,
"Here
I am."
17
He said,
"What
is the word
that He spoke
to you? Please
do
not hide
it from me. May God
do
so
to you, and more
al
so
,
if
you hide
anything
from me of all
the words
that He spoke
to you."
18
So Samuel
told
him everything
and hid
nothing
from him. And he said,
"It is the LORD;
let Him do
what seems good
to Him."
19
Thus Samuel
grew
and the LORD
was with him and let none
of his words
fail.
20
All
Israel
from Dan
even to Beersheba
knew
that Samuel
was confirmed
as a prophet
of the LORD.
21
And
the LORD
appeared
again
at Shiloh
,
because
the LORD
revealed
Himself to Samuel
at Shiloh
by the word
of
the LORD
.
