1 Samuel 3:5-9
5And he ranH7323 unto EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am IH2009; for thou calledstH7121 me. And he saidH559, I calledH7121 not; lie downH7901 againH7725. And he wentH3212 and lay downH7901.
6And YhwhH3068 calledH7121 yet againH3254, SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am I; for thou didst callH7121 me. And he answeredH559, I calledH7121 not, my sonH1121; lie downH7901 againH7725.
7Now SamuelH8050 did not yetH2962 knowH3045 YhwhH3068, neither was the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 yet revealedH1540 unto him.1
8And YhwhH3068 calledH7121 SamuelH8050 againH3254 the third timeH7992. And he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am I; for thou didst callH7121 me. And EliH5941 perceivedH995 that YhwhH3068 had calledH7121 the childH5288.
9Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, GoH3212, lie downH7901: and it shall be, if he callH7121 thee, that thou shalt sayH559, SpeakH1696, YhwhH3068; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085. So SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and lay downH7901 in his placeH4725.
