*
that the LORD called Samuel .
And he answered , "
Here I am !"
*
So he ran to Eli and said , "
Here I am ,
for you called me ."
And he said , "
I did not call ;
lie down again ."
And he went and lay down .
*
Then the LORD called yet again , "
Samuel !"
So Samuel arose and went to Eli ,
and said , "
Here I am ,
for you called me ."
He answered , "
I did not call ,
my son ;
lie down again ."
* (
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD ,
nor was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him .)
*
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time .
So he arose and went to Eli ,
and said , "
Here I am ,
for you did call me ."
Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy .
*
Therefore Eli said to Samuel , "
Go ,
lie down ;
and it shall be ,
if He calls you ,
that you must say , "
Speak ,
LORD ,
for Your servant hears ."'
So Samuel went and lay down in his place .
*
Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times , "
Samuel !
Samuel !"
And Samuel answered , "
Speak ,
for Your servant hears ."
