1 And the child 5288 Samuel 8050 ministered 8334 unto the LORD 3068 before 6440 Eli 5941. And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 was precious 3368 in those days 3117; there was no open 6555 vision 2377.
2 And it came to pass at that time 3117, when Eli 5941 was laid down 7901 in his place 4725, and his eyes 5869 began 2490 to wax dim 3544, that he could 3201 not see 7200;
3 And ere the lamp 5216 of God 430 went out 3518 in the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068, where the ark 727 of God 430 was, and Samuel 8050 was laid down 7901 to sleep;
4 That the LORD 3068 called 7121 Samuel 8050: and he answered 559, Here am I.
5 And he ran 7323 unto Eli 5941, and said 559, Here am I 2009; for thou calledst 7121 me. And he said 559, I called 7121 not; lie down 7901 again 7725. And he went 3212 and lay down 7901.
6 And the LORD 3068 called 7121 yet again 3254, Samuel 8050. And Samuel 8050 arose 6965 and went 3212 to Eli 5941, and said 559, Here am I; for thou didst call 7121 me. And he answered 559, I called 7121 not, my son 1121; lie down 7901 again 7725.
7 Now Samuel 8050 did not yet 2962 know 3045 the LORD 3068, neither was the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 yet revealed 1540 unto him.
8 And the LORD 3068 called 7121 Samuel 8050 again 3254 the third time 7992. And he arose 6965 and went 3212 to Eli 5941, and said 559, Here am I; for thou didst call 7121 me. And Eli 5941 perceived 995 that the LORD 3068 had called 7121 the child 5288.
9 Therefore Eli 5941 said 559 unto Samuel 8050, Go 3212, lie down 7901: and it shall be, if he call 7121 thee, that thou shalt say 559, Speak 1696, LORD 3068; for thy servant 5650 heareth 8085. So Samuel 8050 went 3212 and lay down 7901 in his place 4725.
10 And the LORD 3068 came 935, and stood 3320, and called 7121 as at other times 6471, Samuel 8050, Samuel 8050. Then Samuel 8050 answered 559, Speak 1696; for thy servant 5650 heareth 8085.
11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 to Samuel 8050, Behold, I will do 6213 a thing 1697 in Israel 3478, at which both 8147 the ears 241 of every one that heareth 8085 it shall tingle 6750.
12 In that day 3117 I will perform 6965 against Eli 5941 all things which I have spoken 1696 concerning 413 his house 1004: when I begin 2490, I will also make an end 3615.
13 For I have told 5046 him that I will judge 8199 his house 1004 for 5704 ever 5769 for the iniquity 5771 which he knoweth 3045; because his sons 1121 made themselves vile 7043, and he restrained 3543 them not.
14 And therefore I have sworn 7650 unto the house 1004 of Eli 5941, that the iniquity 5771 of Eli's 5941 house 1004 shall not be purged 3722 with sacrifice 2077 nor offering 4503 for 5704 ever 5769.
15 And Samuel 8050 lay 7901 until the morning 1242, and opened 6605 the doors 1817 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068. And Samuel 8050 feared 3372 to shew 5046 Eli 5941 the vision 4759.
16 Then Eli 5941 called 7121 Samuel 8050, and said 559, Samuel 8050, my son 1121. And he answered 559, Here am I.
17 And he said 559, What is the thing 1697 that the LORD hath said 1696 unto thee? I pray thee hide 3582 it not from me: God 430 do so 6213 to thee, and more also 3254, if thou hide 3582 any thing 1697 from me of all the things 1697 that he said 1696 unto thee.
18 And Samuel 8050 told 5046 him every whit 1697, and hid 3582 nothing from him. And he said 559, It is the LORD 3068: let him do 6213 what seemeth 5869 him good 2896.
19 And Samuel 8050 grew 1431, and the LORD 3068 was with him, and did let none of his words 1697 fall 5307 to the ground 776.
20 And all Israel 3478 from Dan 1835 even to Beersheba 884 knew 3045 that Samuel 8050 was established 539 to be a prophet 5030 of the LORD 3068.
21 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 again 3254 in Shiloh 7887: for the LORD 3068 revealed 1540 himself to Samuel 8050 in Shiloh 7887 by the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.
