1 Samuel 3:1-10
1And the child SamuelH8050 ministered unto Jehovah before EliH5941. And the wordH1697 of Jehovah was preciousH3368 in those daysH3117; there was no frequent visionH2377. 2And it came to pass at that time, when EliH5941 wasH1961 laidH7901 downH7901 in his placeH4725 (now his eyesH5869 had begunH2490 to wax dimH3544, so that he could not seeH7200), 3and the lampH5216 of GodH430 was not yetH2962 gone out, and SamuelH8050 was laidH7901 downH7901 to sleep, in the templeH1964 of Jehovah, whereH834 the arkH727 of GodH430 was; 4that Jehovah calledH7121 SamuelH8050: and he saidH559, HereH2005 am I. 5And he ranH7323 unto EliH5941, and saidH559, HereH2005 am I; for thou calledst me. And he saidH559, I calledH7121 not; lieH7901 down again. And he wentH7725 and layH7901 downH7901. 6And Jehovah calledH7121 yetH5750 againH5750, SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH7725 to EliH5941, and saidH559, HereH2005 am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I calledH7121 not, my sonH1121; lieH7901 down againH5750. 7Now SamuelH8050 did not yetH2962 knowH3045 Jehovah, neither was the wordH1697 of Jehovah yetH2962 revealedH1540 unto him. 8And Jehovah calledH7121 SamuelH8050 again the thirdH7992 time. And he aroseH6965 and went to EliH5941, and saidH559, HereH2005 am I; for thou calledst me. And EliH5941 perceivedH995 that Jehovah had calledH7121 the child. 9Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, Go, lieH7901 down: and it shall beH1961, if he callH7121 thee, that thou shalt sayH559, SpeakH1696, Jehovah; for thy servantH5650 heareth. So SamuelH8050 went and layH7901 downH7901 in his placeH4725.
10And Jehovah cameH935, and stoodH3320, and calledH7121 as at other timesH6471, SamuelH8050, SamuelH8050. Then SamuelH8050 saidH559, SpeakH1696; for thy servantH5650 heareth.
