1 Samuel 3:1-10

1And the boy SamuelH8050 ministered to Jehovah before EliH5941. And the wordH1697 of Jehovah was rare in those daysH3117; a visionH2377 was not frequent.

2And it came to pass at that time, when EliH5941 layH7901 in his placeH4725 (now his eyesH5869 beganH2490 to grow dimH3544, he could not seeH7200),

3and the lampH5216 of 1GodH430 had not yetH2962 gone out, and SamuelH8050 layH7901 in the templeH1964 of Jehovah, whereH834 the arkH727 of 2GodH430 was,

4that Jehovah calledH7121 to SamuelH8050. And he saidH559, HereH2005 am I.

5And he ranH7323 to EliH5941, and saidH559, HereH2005 am I; for thou calledst me. And he saidH559, I did not callH7121: lieH7901 down again. And he wentH7725 and layH7901 downH7901.

6And Jehovah calledH7121 againH5750, SamuelH8050! And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH7725 to EliH5941, and saidH559, HereH2005 am I; for thou calledst me. And he saidH559, I did not callH7121, my sonH1121: lieH7901 down againH5750.

7Now SamuelH8050 did not yetH2962 knowH3045 Jehovah, neither had the wordH1697 of Jehovah yetH2962 been revealedH1540 to him.

8And Jehovah calledH7121 again the thirdH7992 time, SamuelH8050! And he aroseH6965 and went to EliH5941, and saidH559, HereH2005 am I; for thou calledst me. And EliH5941 perceivedH995 that Jehovah was callingH7121 the boy.

9And EliH5941 saidH559 to 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 the other timesH6471, SamuelH8050, SamuelH8050! And SamuelH8050 saidH559, SpeakH1696, for thy servantH5650 heareth.
