1SA-3:1 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.
1SA-3:2 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;
1SA-3:3 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];
1SA-3:4 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here [am]
I.
1SA-3:5 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.
1SA-3:6 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.
1SA-3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the
word
of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
1SA-3:8 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.
1SA-3:9 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.
1SA-3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other
times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy
servant
heareth.
1SA-3:11 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.
1SA-3:12 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.
1SA-3:13 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.
1SA-3:14 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.
1SA-3:15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors
of
the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
1SA-3:16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And
he
answered, Here [am] I.
1SA-3:17 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.
1SA-3:18 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.
1SA-3:19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let
none of his words fall to the ground.
1SA-3:20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that
Samuel
[was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD.
1SA-3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD
revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
