1 Samuel 3:1-3

1The boy Samuel was serving the Lord under Eli. In those days a prophecy from the Lord was rare; visions were infrequent.

2One night Eli was lying down in his room. His eyesight had begun to fail so that he couldn’t see well.

3The lamp in God’s temple  hadn’t gone out yet, and Samuel was asleep in the temple of the Lord where the ark of God was kept.
