1 Samuel 3

1And the child^H5288 Samuel^H8050 ministered^H8334 unto Jehovah^H3068 before^H6440 Eli^H5941. And the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 was precious^H3368 in those days^H3117; there was no frequent^H6555 vision^H2377. 2And it came to pass at that time^H3117, when Eli^H5941 was laid down^H7901 in his place^H4725 (now his eyes^H5869 had begun^H2490 to wax dim^H3544, so that he could^H3201 not see^H7200), 3and the lamp^H5216 of God^H430 was not yet gone out^H3518, and Samuel^H8050 was laid down to^H7901 sleep, in the temple^H1964 of Jehovah^H3068, where the ark^H727 of God^H430 was; 4that Jehovah^H3068 called^H7121 Samuel^H8050; and he said^H559, Here am I. 5And he ran^H7323 unto Eli^H5941, and said^H559, Here am I^H2009; for thou calledst^H7121 me. And he said^H559, I called^H7121 not; lie down^H7901 again^H7725. And he went^H3212 and lay down^H7901. 6And Jehovah^H3068 called^H7121 yet again^H3254, Samuel^H8050. And Samuel^H8050 arose^H6965 and went^H3212 to Eli^H5941, and said^H559, Here am I; for thou calledst^H7121 me. And he answered^H559, I called^H7121 not, my son^H1121; lie down^H7901 again^H7725. 7Now Samuel^H8050 did not yet^H2962 know^H3045 Jehovah^H3068, neither was the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 yet revealed^H1540 unto him. 8And Jehovah^H3068 called^H7121 Samuel^H8050 again^H3254 the third time^H7992. And he arose^H6965 and went^H3212 to Eli^H5941, and said^H559, Here am I; for thou calledst^H7121 me. And Eli^H5941 perceived^H995 that Jehovah^H3068 had called^H7121 the child^H5288. 9Therefore Eli^H5941 said^H559 unto Samuel^H8050, Go^H3212, lie down^H7901: and it shall be, if he call^H7121 thee, that thou shalt say^H559, Speak^H1696, Jehovah^H3068; for thy servant^H5650 heareth^H8085. So Samuel^H8050 went^H3212 and lay down^H7901 in his place^H4725. 10And Jehovah^H3068 came^H935, and stood^H3320, and called^H7121 as at other times^H6471, Samuel^H8050, Samuel^H8050. Then Samuel^H8050 said^H559, Speak^H1696; for thy servant^H5650 heareth^H8085. 11And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 to Samuel^H8050, Behold, I will do^H6213 a thing^H1697 in Israel^H3478, at which both^H8147 the ears^H241 of every one that heareth^H8085 it shall tingle^H6750. 12In that day^H3117 I will perform^H6965 against Eli^H5941 all that I have spoken^H1696 concerning^H413 his house^H1004, from the beginning^H2490 even unto the end^H3615. 13For I have told^H5046 him that I will judge^H8199 his house^H1004 for^H5704 ever^H5769, for the iniquity^H5771 which he knew^H3045, because his sons^H1121 did bring a curse^H7043 upon themselves, and he restrained^H3543 them not. 14And therefore I have sworn^H7650 unto the house^H1004 of Eli^H5941, that the iniquity^H5771 of Eli's^H5941 house^H1004 shall not be expiated^H3722 with sacrifice^H2077 nor offering^H4503 for^H5704 ever^H5769. 15And Samuel^H8050 lay^H7901 until the morning^H1242, and opened^H6605 the doors^H1817 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068. And Samuel^H8050 feared^H3372 to show^H5046 Eli^H5941 the vision^H4759. 16Then Eli^H5941 called^H7121 Samuel^H8050, and said^H559, Samuel^H8050, my son^H1121. And he said^H559, Here am I. 17And he said^H559, What is the thing^H1697 that Jehovah hath spoken^H1696 unto thee? I pray thee, hide^H3582 it not from me: God^H430 do so^H6213 to thee, and more also^H3254, if thou hide^H3582 anything^H1697 from me of all the things^H1697 that he spake^H1696 unto thee. 18And Samuel^H8050 told^H5046 him every whit^H1697, and hid^H3582 nothing from him. And he said^H559, It is Jehovah^H3068: let him do^H6213 what seemeth^H5869 him good^H2896. 19And Samuel^H8050 grew^H1431, and Jehovah^H3068 was with him, and did let none of his words^H1697 fall^H5307 to the ground^H776. 20And all Israel^H3478 from Dan^H1835 even to Beer-sheba^H884 knew^H3045 that Samuel^H8050 was established^H539 to be a prophet^H5030 of Jehovah^H3068. 21And Jehovah^H3068 appeared^H7200 again^H3254 in Shiloh^H7887; for Jehovah^H3068 revealed^H1540 himself to Samuel^H8050 in Shiloh^H7887 by the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068.
